Tshikululu is pleased to announce that the De Beers Fund has received a top category award at the prestigious annual Mail & Guardian Investing in the Future Awards for its work in South Africa’s education sector.

The award was accepted by De Beers Consolidated Mines CSR manager Abel Madonsela at a banquet attended by award entrants from 13 African countries at Johannesburg’s Summer Place last night. The judges remarked that De Beers was ahead of other company entrants “œby a far distance” in this work and commended others in the private sector to follow its example.
