TORONTO (miningweekly.com) – Randgold Resources CEO Mark Bristow’s fundraising motorbike safari across Africa has so far raised about $2.4-million as it passed Kolwezi, in the Lualaba province of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), with a little under half way to go to the end.

Through making an estimated $3-million donation to Randgold’s Nos Vies en Partage charitable foundation, established in 2014, the trip – dubbed Safari Kwa Afrika Bora (Swahili for Riding for a Better Africa) – was aimed at raising $3-million for some of the continent’s neediest people, notably the women and children deprived of a decent life by strife and poverty, the company said.

According to Randgold, this was the fourth trans-Africa motorbike safari Bristow had undertaken and previous rides had cumulatively raised $2.5-million, distributed to 55 entities in 15 countries.
