Founder - Jay Naidoo

Jay Naidoo was the general secretary of the largest South African trade union organisation (COSATU) which was a key pillar in the struggle for freedom. Campaigning for the release of Nelson Mandela, he accompanied this great icon on the 11th of February, 1990 when he was released after 27 years in jail. He was then asked by Mandela to join the South African Parliament and made Minister in the President’s office and then the Communications Ministry after the 1994 first democratic elections. He left Government when Mandela stepped down in 1999. He also set up an investment and management business while continuing to work with national and international development organisations including the United Nations. In 2010 he stepped down from business and operationalises the Angamma Charitable Trust as a vehicle for building grassroots development for deeply marginalized communities.
