Poor pupils in under-resourced rural and township schools are set to receive study guides and education-related materials paid for by the Motsepe Foundation

In addition, they will also be able to access to online learning materials through computer centres following a R1 billion pledge announced by the foundation and associate companies during a virtual media conference on Saturday.

“We are committed to contributing to the provision of quality education, infrastructure and other facilities to better prepare and equip them to deal with future pandemics or catastrophes,” he said.Motsepe also said several million rands will immediately be made available with the primary objective of saving lives, slowing and restraining the spread of Covid-19.“We’ve been advised that access to water for regularly washing hands in crucial for slowing and limiting the spread of the coronavirus.

She said UCT had approached the foundation recently for assistance and R5 million was made available when she learnt about the plight of a poor student who had no access to a computer. He said they have been in contact with ministers, MECs and government’s Covid-19 Solidarity Fund to identify specific initiatives to partner in.
