Patrice Motsepe

South African billionaire and founder of African Rainbow Minerals (ARM), has been working to help the impoverished in his country, funding initiatives in education, arts, women, among others. He has been doing this through his Motsepe Foundation. Motsepe took a vow to give at least half of his net worth to philanthropy, either during his lifetime or upon his death when he became the first African to join the Giving Pledge in 2013. Last December, the mining magnate pledged to donate $250 million towards advancing South Africa’s land reform programme.
