Randgold Resources CEO Mark Bristow’s fundraising motorbike safari from the east to west across mid-Africa has so far raised about $2.4-million as it passed Kolwezi, in the Lualaba province of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), with a little under half way to go to the end.
Through making an estimated $3-million donation to Randgold’s Nos Vies en Partage charitable foundation, established in 2014, the trip – dubbed Safari Kwa Afrika Bora (Swahili for Riding for a Better Africa) – aimed at raising $3-million for some of the continent’s neediest people, notably the women and children deprived of a decent life by strife and poverty, the company advised.
