Speaking at the Regina Mundi the chairman of the Motsepe Foundation Patrice Motsepe‚ has encouraged the spirit of assisting the needy among South Africans.
“Many of our people have no jobs. Many of our people go to bed at night without food. Many of our young children go to high school‚ perform very well but have no money to go to university.
“Many of our people cannot get the good medical treatment they need. All of us must try in our very humble and small way to help because none of us can fix all the problems‚” he said.
