\"\"El multimillonario Patrice Motsepe, uno de los hombres m\u00e1s ricos de Sud\u00e1frica, donar\u00e1 la mitad de su fortuna a ayudar a los pobres a trav\u00e9s de la fundaci\u00f3n que lleva su nombre. <\/p>\n

\u00abNo vamos a dejar que sufran solos\u00bb, asegur\u00f3 Motsepe en referencia a los m\u00e1s desfavorecidos del planeta, seg\u00fan recoge la agencia de noticias sudafricana SAPA.<\/p>\n

Motsepe, de 51 a\u00f1os y nacido en el popular barrio de Soweto, al suroeste de Johannesburgo, es propietario y fundador de la empresa minera African Rainbow Minerals (ARM), y seg\u00fan la revista Forbes posee la cuarta fortuna de Sud\u00e1frica y la octava de \u00c1frica con unos 2.650 millones de d\u00f3lares.<\/p>\n

El empresario sudafricano se une de esta forma a los multimillonarios estadounidenses Warren Buffet y Bill Gates, que en 2010 lanzaron la campa\u00f1a Giving Pledge (La Promesa de Dar) en la que instaban a m\u00e1s acomodados del planeta a donar parte de sus fortunas.<\/p>\n

Motsepe, cuya compa\u00f1\u00eda invierte en explotaciones de platino, n\u00edquel, cromo, hierro, manganeso, carb\u00f3n, cobre y oro, es adem\u00e1s propietario del club de f\u00fatbol de Pretoria Mamelodi Sundowns y accionista de la empresa Sanlam, una importante compa\u00f1\u00eda sudafricana de servicios financieros, apunta Forbes.<\/p>\n

El dinero de Motsepe se destinar\u00e1 a mejorar las condiciones de vida de los pobres, los discapacitados, los parados, las mujeres, los j\u00f3venes y los marginados, informa la agencia SAPA.<\/p>\n

\u00abVamos a destinar los fondos sobre todo a educaci\u00f3n, salud, grupos cristianos y comunidades rurales\u00bb, explic\u00f3 Precious Motsepe.<\/p>\n

Sud\u00e1frica sigue siendo un pa\u00eds con marcadas diferencias sociales, y seg\u00fan un estudio publicado esta semana por la Universidad de Ciudad del Cabo y citado por la prensa local, doce de los cerca de 52 millones de habitantes de Sud\u00e1frica pasan hambre cada d\u00eda.<\/p>\n

\"\"Political parties in South Africa have welcomed and praised billionaire businessman Patrice Motsepe for donating at least half the money generated by his assets to the poor.<\/p>\n

The ruling ANC have been very critical of black millionaires and were first to salute Patrice Motsepe, mining magnate after the announcement. Motsepe is the first person outside of the Unites States to join ‘Giving Pledge’, an initiative started by Warren Buffet and Bill Gates, which encourages the super-wealthy to donate at least half of their money to charity.<\/p>\n

The Motsepe Foundation works with communities in health and education development, to help beneficiaries sustain themselves.
\nMotsepe is the fourth richest man in South Africa and the sixth richest in Africa, according to Forbes. It calculates his net worth at US2.65 billion (about R29.93 billion).<\/p>\n

Motsepe said the \u00abmost effective way to deal with joblessness and poverty is to create a business environment that is globally competitive and attractive to the private sector\u00bb. The ANC’s Jackson Mthembu said, \u00abthis unprecedented act of goodwill in South Africa gives expression to our view of patriotic bourgeoisie, whose outlook reflects a deep understanding of development challenges and limitations facing South Africa and its people\u00bb.<\/p>\n

Mthembu said the ANC believed that business is an essential partner in development and in confronting socio-economic challenges like poverty and unemployment.
\nTax environment<\/p>\n

The Democratic Alliance (DA) has welcomed the billionaire’s decision to donate at least half the money generated by his assets to the poor.
\nDemocratic Alliance’s Tim Harris said, \u00abthe DA warmly welcomes the move by billionaire Patrice Motsepe to significantly increase the amount he intends donating to good causes\u00bb.<\/p>\n

\u00abNow National Treasury must make it easier for others to follow suit by boosting South Africa’s tax incentives for charitable giving.\u00bb
\nHarris said Motsepe made his donation in a significantly less generous tax environment. \u00abOur tax laws need to reflect the reality of need across our country by increasing the tax deductibility of charitable giving and making it easier to set up charitable foundations.\u00bb<\/p>\n

Motsepe’s \u00abgesture of philanthropy\u00bb would help many destitute South Africans to experience some relief, which complemented government initiatives said the ANC. <\/p>\n
