JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Motsepe Foundation founder and African Rainbow Minerals (ARM) executive chairperson and founder Patrice Motsepe has donated $1-million to Guinea’s Ebola Fund on behalf of the organisations.

This donation, for which regulatory approval was received on Friday, would assist Guinea with clinical management, social mobilisation, medical coordination and other key mechanisms of controlling the disease.

Motsepe called on the African and international business community, as well as the medical fraternity, to continue contributing to, and assisting in, the fight against the virus, adding that the Motsepe Foundation would work with various stakeholders and other interested parties to combat the outbreak.

“According to the World Health Organisation, Ebola is an epidemic in certain countries in West Africa. However, the impact of the disease has potentially far-reaching consequences for West Africa, Africa and the world. It is a global issue which requires the global community to work together and bring an end to the disease,” Motsepe stated.
