BOTHO

Compelled by the African philosophy of Botho – which recognises the interconnectedness of humanity – the Stephen Zondo Foundation was established by His Excellency, Dr Archbishop B.S Zondo and Pastor PS Zondo in 2011. This simple word encapsulates the African concept of giving and caring for our neighbours and other members of our community. This selfless and compassionate quality is part of the age-old African culture and expresses the core value of humanity as goodness to our fellow men. The act of giving back has been and still is an integral part of our moral duty and collective responsibility. It is a concept that has held African families and communities together for generations, despite the continent’s many challenges. The Foundation is proud to pass it on to the next generation.
