South Africans 'donate income'to charities

PRETORIA 20 Feb (ANA) - South Africa's middle-classes give away 35% of their monthly income to help others, according to new report by Charities Aid Foundation.
Its Southern Africa head Gill Bates told BBC Newsday that the research focused on middle-class South Africans who live in urban areas.
She added:
Its a huge amount of one's income and we think this speaks directly to the philosophy of Ubuntu."
Its really pleasing and humbling to see that although people are having to tighten their belts, the spirit of giving has not diminished."(ANA)
