From Creamer Media in Johannesburg, this is the Real Economy Report.

Diversified miner Anglo American in August announced the handover of its 45 Main Street building, in the Johannesburg central business district (CBD), to nonprofit private education institution the Maharishi Invincibility Institute. Tasneem Bulbulia tells us more.

Tasneem Bulbulia:

The building forms part of the company’s former Johannesburg CBD Campus, where its South African headquarters were housed until the miner relocated its Johannesburg CBD colleagues to a new consolidated corporate office in Rosebank, north of the city centre, in 2021.

Maharishi co-founder and CEO Dr Taddy Blecher highlights the significance of this donation, and elaborates on the plans for the building.

This donation also builds on Anglo’s previous donation to the institute, in 2005, of the 9 Ntemi Piliso Street building, which currently houses one of the institute’s campuses, and is located in direct proximity to the 45 Main Road building. Blecher outlines the successes enjoyed there thus far, and how these will be amplified.
