It was the first time South Africa took part in the challenge and the CEO of Lonmin Ben Magara said urged the country’s corporate sector to play its part in eradicating poverty.
“It’s such a good cause and I felt it’s an opportunity for people who have had the fortunes like we have to have a chance to give back,” he was quoted as saying.
