The Foundation takes a holistic approach to entrepreneurial development and believes that entrepreneurial-minded individuals, with ethical values and strong leadership skills, hold the key to change in South Africa and the Globe.

Allan Gray created the Foundation in 2005 to fight the triple devils in South Africa: unemployment, inequality and poverty. For him, the only way that fight could be efficient is to find people with entrepreneurial mind set.

The Fellowship application is not just a financial transaction but more than that, it's a journey to develop someone's entrepreneurial mindset. It promotes entrepreneurship through seminars, workshops with the help of Personal Leadership Officers available 24 to assist the members.

You need to be a grade 12 student or a first and second year university student with 60% of pure math, no literacy one and an 70% overall of your result for only 10 partners institutions.

Basically, they pay for everything: your fees, your accommodation, your books in away that they take all the pressure out of you.

Rudy van Dieman, who has partnered with Angels South Africa, an organisation based in Colorado Park, Mitchells Plain, will summit Table Mountain 365 times in 2022, to raise funds for building a community orphanage. Angels SA wants to purchase a house that will become a safe house for children. ‘’Farieda Moses, [Founder of AngelsSA] has been a role model to me since I knew her. She took us on a camp and we stayed in contact after that ,and we done various charity work together. Just her will, and her strength that I see in her - she wants to make such a big change, but don’t have the necessary tools, so it will take years to fund her dream, and I came up with the crazy idea to give it a year and do my part to raise those funds and build that house,’’ said van Dieman.

  4th of March is observed as World Obesity Day and we spoke to CEO Professor Pamela Naidoo and Dietitian Kinza Hussian from The Heart and Stroke Foundation.  So according to the World Obesity Federation, 800 million people around the world are living with obesity. And then also in South Africa almost 65% of women and 30% of men are classified as being overweight or obese. So being overweight or obese increases your risk of having a heart disease or even a stroke, as well as numerous other health problems including high blood pressure or diabetes.  Obesity is defined as abnormal or excessive accumulation of fat in the body, but it's also very important, you know, where that fat lies.  Bear in mind checking body mass index is something which I'm sure most people are aware of, it's that quick calculation everyone can just do, which is your weight in kgs divided by your height in meter squared, so if that number is greater than 30, that's when we'd say someone's ob...
