In a recent feature with Leadership Magazine, the Thabo Mbeki Foundation was proud to highlight the visionary work being done to shape a brighter, more unified future for Africa. The article, titled “Building a Foundation for the Advancement of Africa”, offers a compelling look into the strategic goals of the Foundation and its ongoing efforts to promote leadership, development, and Pan-African unity.
In conversation with Ralph Staniforth, the Foundation’s Chairperson, Geraldine Fraser-Moleketi, delves into the core motivations behind the work of the Foundation. At the heart of the discussion is the upcoming Thabo Mbeki Presidential Centre—a space envisioned not just as a hub for leadership and learning, but as a living, interactive archive of Africa’s rich intellectual and political heritage.
Fraser-Moleketi speaks passionately about the Women-Centred Development Institute, a key initiative designed to elevate the rights and roles of women across the continent. The article also outlines how the Foundation’s flagship programmes—rooted in values such as Pan-Africanism, Ubuntu, and Integrity—continue to address critical challenges facing Africa today, from education and conflict resolution to gender equity and global dialogue.
With this new spotlight in Leadership Magazine, the Foundation reaffirms its commitment to building a better future through strategic action, collaborative thinking, and unwavering belief in the potential of the African continent and its people.
