Mamelodi Sundowns owner Motsepe donates $1m to combat Ebola

Published on: 29 October 2014

Mamelodi Sundowns owner Patrice Motsepe has donated $1 million to the Republic of Guinea's 'Ebola Fund'.

Sundowns' website reports that Motsepe made the pledge a few weeks ago, with the necessary regulatory approvals obtained on Friday.

The money 'will assist Guinea with clinical management, social mobilisation, medical coordination and other key mechanisms of controlling the disease', which has killed some 5000 people in west Africa.

“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 is quoted as saying.
