Johannesburg - Mining billionaire Patrice Motsepe announced on Monday he would give half his family's fortune to a charity, matching a pledge made by Bill Gates and Warren Buffett.

Motsepe and his family are giving half the funds generated from assets owned by the family to the Motsepe Foundation.

The funds will be used to uplift those less well off‚ the family said in a statement.

The size of the donation was not immediately known.

"I decided quite some time ago to give at least half the funds generated by our family assets to uplift poor and other disadvantaged and marginalised South Africans but was also duty bound and committed to ensuring that it would be done in a way that protects the interests and retains the confidence of our shareholders and investors‚" Motsepe said in a statement.

"This is to be used during his lifetime and beyond... to improve the lifestyles, and living conditions, of poor, disabled, unemployed, women, youth, workers and marginalised South Africans," his wife Precious Motsepe said.

Motsepe founded African Rainbow Minerals [JSE:ARM]‚ which he chairs. He is also chairman of Harmony Gold Mining Company [JSE:HAR]‚ in which ARM is a shareholder.

The mining tycoon becomes the first African to join the Giving Pledge, which challenges the world's wealthiest to give 50% or more of their fortune to charity.

Since Microsoft mogul Gates and investment guru Buffett launched the Pledge in 2010, more than 70 billionaires have joined.

Motsepe is Africa's eighth richest person with a fortune of $2.65bn (€1.96bn), according to Forbes magazine.

His announcement, two days after his 51st birthday, makes him part of an illustrious club that includes Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, Netflix chief executive Reed Hastings, and Intel co-founder Gordon Moore.

Just days before its national team flies out to the West Indies, Zimbabwean cricket has been rocked by allegations of racism.

According to the NDTV Sports
website
, Zimbabwe has been a hotbed of racism ever since it received ICC recognition with several white players quitting the nation for safer pastures in nations like Australia. The recent row erupted after Sports Minister David Coltart made it a "must" for national selectors to have played for Zimbabwe.

According to reports, Givemore Makoni, the convenor of selectors that picked the squad to the West Indies, accused Coltart of racism, arguing there was a very small pool of former black players to choose from and the minister's directive would ultimately see the selection panel headed only by whites. Makoni has never played for Zimbabwe.

Expecting a backlash, Zimbabwe Cricket chief Peter Chingoka has summoned an urgent meeting among the game's chief stake holders to confront the issues. Zimbabwe Cricket has clearly said it wouldn't implement Coltart's directive, calling it to be "illegal".

Chingoka said on Tuesday: "There have been recent incidents that are disturbing. There have been reports of black and white players using separate buses on senior team tours.

"At the ICC Under-19 World Cup held in Australia in August last year, white batsmen alleged that blacks were bowling short pitched balls to them in the nets and counter allegations by black bowlers were that white fielders were reluctant to restrict runs from their deliveries.

"Our domestic leagues have not been spared either, as there has been a marked increase in the number of disciplinary allegations initiated by allegations of racism."

Chingoka's said his proposed summit was to discuss and unpack the elements of (our) strained race relations with the objective of creating mutual understanding and dealing with the demons that continue to haunt the sport.

Since Zimbabwe's independence in 1980, cricket was primarily a white sport. In 2001, Zimbabwe Cricket established what it called an Integration Task Force aimed at enhancing opportunities for blacks in cricket.

There was resistance to what some saw as affirmative action and an exodus of white players beginning in 2004 was seen by black players and administrators as a racist plot to weaken the team and project blacks as incapable.

Most of the players who quit, including the former captain Heath Streak, have since returned as coaches after Zimbabwe Cricket extended an olive branch.

Zimbabwe are scheduled to play three ODIs, two T20s and two Tests against the West Indies, starting on February 22.

KickOff.com can reveal that Sunderland striker Louis Saha is in the country to conclude a deal with Bidvest Wits.

Saha was spotted at the airport in Johannesburg today, and Sunderland manager Martin O’Neil has already confirmed that there is interest in the striker from South African clubs.

The Black Cats recently partnered with Wits as part of their programme to develop a network of clubs in Africa. The deal was announced in early January by the club’s chief of international development, former Sunderland star Gordon Chisholm, who said the connection would help “as regards players [and] sponsorships”.

“With this arrangement, all the clubs involved will benefit,” Chisholm said earlier in January. “I will be with Bidvest Wits in South Africa later in the month and all these will be geared at fostering the relationship that we are building in Africa.”

Our sources tell us Saha is almost certainly in the country to feel out an agreement with Wits. However, club general manager George Mogotsi insists: “He is just a visitor in the country and he’s got nothing to do with us.”
