Global South Africans

GSA member, Donovan Neale-May has ensured that economically disadvantaged students at Rhodes University will be the beneficiaries of property sales in a new eco-estate development in South Africa’s Kwa-Zulu Natal province. Property developer Neale-May, a Rhodes University alumnus, will contribute 10 percent of the net proceeds of any property transaction in The Reeds at Balgowan eco-estate (http://www.reedsenviroliving.com/) to provide Rhodes University scholarships for financially burdened students and those graduating from the Ubuntu Education Fund programs in Port Elizabeth’s poverty stricken townships. Neale-May has previously contributed to the formation of the Rhodes Sports Trust and set up the Neilen Locke Annual Coaching Award at the university. His environmentally sensitive and secluded preserve adjoins pristine indigenous forests and features an abundance of wildlife, a wide selection of flora and fauna, and strict eco-friendly home design, construction and ownership guidelines. Large stands at The Reeds range from dramatic Drakensberg Mountain views to trout-filled lake settings and are set in the high hills of the picturesque Midlands Meander overlooking Michaelhouse, one of South Africa’s most prestigious private schools.
