South Africa's Ramaphosa gives half his pay to Mandela charity

South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa has announced that he will be donating half of his salary to charity.  Mr Ramaphosa said the gesture was aimed at encouraging the wealthy to dedicate some of their pay to help build the nation. The donation of 1.8m rand ($130,000; £100,000) will be managed by the Nelson Mandela Foundation (NMF). Mr Ramaphosa is one of South Africa's richest men, with a fortune of around $450m. His critics often accuse him of being out of touch with the poor, and he was criticised for bidding more than $2m for a buffalo and her calf in 2012.  Mr Ramaphosa, 65, was a businessman before he became deputy president in 2012.  He held a stake in sectors from telecoms and the media to beverages and fast food - he owned the South African franchise of the US chain, McDonalds. Mr Ramaphosa's decision to take a pay cut has been met with mixed reactions in South Africa, reports the BBC's Pumza Fihlani from the main city, Johannesburg.
Some feel the donation is "peanuts" given his wealth, while others see it as a selfless move aimed at reintroducing a culture of public service in the governing African National Congress (ANC), she adds.
