Foundation to launch 2 new Development Forums The Motsepe Foundation will launch two new Development Forums to bring to 25 the total number of Forums established across South Africa The Motsepe Foundation will be launching two new Development Forums to bring to 25 the total number of Forums which have been set up to assist in identifying projects in the different municipalities in the nine provinces of South Africa. The new forums will be launched in East London and Richards Bay on October 8. So far, over R200-million has been allocated to 23 of these Municipalities-Metropolitan Foundation Development Forums for projects in education, women owned enterprises, youth-owned enterprises, religious and worker organisations, traditional authorities. In addition to the R200-million already allocated to the Forums, R100-million has also been allocated to other projects in South Africa and the rest of the African continent. The Foundation recently concluded its third roadshow which was aimed at evaluating progress made and the impact of the projects that were initiated and funded since the formation of each district or metropolitan municipality development forum and to discuss new projects that may be funded from the allocation of each forum. Mr Motsepe has announced that WORKSHOPS will be held going forward with members of the Development Forums to better define their roles and responsibilities. “We knew there would be challenges associated with the District Municipalities/Metro Motsepe Foundation Forums identifying and recommending projets for funding, but we were keen to empower the local communities to take ownership of their development and upliftment processes and initiatives,” he said. The meeting in East London will be held at the East London City Hall at 9 am, and that in Richards Bay will be held at the Main Hall of the Esikhawini Campus of the Umfolozi College in Richards Bay at 2 p.m For more info, visit themotsepefoundation.org/
