The South African Ubuntu Foundation |
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The South African Ubuntu Foundation (SAUFT) was established in 2006 by Kevin Chaplin, previous Provincial Manager of First National Bank Western Cape and SAUFT’s Managing Director.
SAUFT’s ENLIGHTENING VISION for the new South Africa and its regional neighbours embraces a world in which all people: embrace one another’s equality; embody the essence and spirit of Ubuntu in their work, family, and community lives; are encouraged and inspired to use their inherent abilities to the fullest, and find their passion for, participate and contribute fully in, and benefit fairly from South Africa’s growing prosperity.
