Bobby Motaung Foundation to launch Community upliftment projects

This will be officially announced at the Bobby Motaung Foundation golf day, scheduled to take place in Bryanston on Thursday.

"This foundation aims to make a difference for the youth and the broader South African society. We are aligning ourselves with spiritual, healthcare and education issues that persist in this country," explained the Chiefs' football manager.

Motaung, who also has a strong connection to the Methodist Church through his mother, Mama Malebo Motaung, will be assisting with some religious programmes as well, starting in his township of birth, Soweto.

The Motaung Foundation’s golf day is already a sold-out event, with businesspeople and captains of industry coming to play, and also to give back to this new foundation and its projects.

This is his message to the people who will be at the Bryanston golf club on Thursday.

Motaung also has a long history of working at his family's football club, dating back to the mid-1980s, and has benefited from the experience of being around his uncles, Sam and Cecil Motaung, his iconic father, Kaizer Motaung, and other stalwarts and founding members of Amakhosi.

"We are in the privileged position to give back to local communities because we are a huge name with huge influence, not only in South Africa, but across the continent too."

Celebrating his birthday and being part of this foundation has given Motaung a special and different meaning to life.

"Me and Thabo were like twins, and his death took a huge toll on me, but I kept the faith and I kept his memory close to my heart.  I'm sure that he would be very proud of the work we are doing as a foundation.
