The Mandela Rhodes Foundation is one of Nelson Mandela’s three official legacy organisations, founded in 2003 in partnership with the Rhodes Trust.

Their purpose is to build exceptional leadership capacity in Africa. They find, fund, and empower young Africans who aspire to use their talents to serve their societies and our continent. They do this by providing a postgraduate scholarship for young leaders to study in South Africa and participate in a residential Leadership Development Programme.

The Mandela Rhodes Foundation programme is built on Nelson Mandela’s belief that leadership begins with inner transformation, and its founding principles of reconciliation, education, entrepreneurship, and leadership.

Over the past 20 years the Mandela Rhodes Foundation has awarded 622 Mandela Rhodes Scholarships to young leaders from 33 African countries.
