南非富豪帕特里斯·莫特赛捐出半数财产
South Africa's richest black man, Patrice Motsepe, has announced he is giving away half his wealth to improve the lives of the poor.
南非最富有的黑人帕特里斯·莫特赛比宣布捐出一半财产改善穷人生活。
Born in Soweto, Patrice Motsepe is South Africas first and only black billionaire
The mining magnate(巨头,富豪) said the money would be handled by the Motsepe Foundation to address education and health issues.
He said he was inspired by the word's two wealthiest men, Bill Gates and Warren Buffet, who are encouraging billionaires to donate to charity.
Mr Motsepe has a net worth of $2.65bn, Forbes' rich list estimates.
'Part of our culture'
Born in the Soweto township, he is a lawyer by training and South Africa's first and only black billionaire.
He founded the publicly traded mining conglomerate, African Rainbow Minerals, which has interests in platinum, gold, coal and other minerals.
He made most of his mining fortune through the government's black economic empowerment policy, which mandates that mining companies be at least 26% black-owned, says the BBC's Pumza Fihlani in Johannesburg.
The businessman also owns Pretoria-based football club Mamelodi Sundowns.
Mr Motsepe made the announcement at an event in Johannesburg, where on a live video link Microsoft founder Mr Gates praised his decision.
