“I was born here. I left in 1974 and to be recognised by your own university in your own hometown 45 years after you left, it is a fantastic feeling,” he said.
“The university also wants to partner with us in disaster interventions, which is an additional bonus for us, so it is great feeling,” Sooliman added. Listing some of his work, the university said in his humanitarian walk spanning over two decades, Sooliman had initiated 21 different categories of projects through his organisation, delivering R2.1bn of aid to people in 43 countries, including South Africa.
“He enriched his career by designing and developing the world’s first and only containerised mobile hospital in 1993. It was deployed in Bosnia and appraised by CNN as one of the best hospitals in Europe,” the university said. “Gift of the Givers was the first foundation to receive R60m from a government to put together and roll out 204,000 food parcels. Dr Sooliman’s innovative groundnut-soya high-energy and protein supplement – a first globally – has played a major role in the treatment of HIV/Aids, TB, malnutrition, cancer and various other debilitating conditions. Africa’s largest open-source computer lab was also developed by him in 2007.

Makhanda water crisis: No agreement to pay for aidThe municipality denies it had a deal in place to pay the Gift of the Givers for the work it did. Same old. Same old. For another 4 years. You get what you vote for and you vote for what you get. The people have another 4 years (making it 30 years) to wake up to the fact that the ANC is for the party - collective and not for the people. Tragic. No payment......'NO AID'....SIMPLE!!!!
