MAD Leadership Foundation raises over R1.1m at annual Valley Flair Art Auction

Popular artists from South Africa’s diverse art scene donated pieces to be auctioned. Pieces on offer were created by the likes of Janko de Beer, Mbongeni Buthelezi, Sizwe Khoza, Marieke Prinsloo, and Anton Smit.

Ariella Kuper from Clear Asset Management conducted the auction. Key auction items were Janko de Beer’s Sanctified, which sold for R390,000, and Mbongeni Buthelezi’s Boy Running, which sold for R80,000.

Commented former Springbok Captain Francois Pienaar, founder of MAD Leadership Foundation, “Showcasing our extremely talented local artists is a tremendous privilege. Their donation of time, expertise and unique artwork contributes massively to supporting the leaders of tomorrow, leaders who will one day have a meaningful impact in their communities, cities and our country.”

The heart of MAD Leadership Foundation is to develop leadership through education. Their process is to identify scholars with potential, support them financially and mentor the development of their skills through integrated and comprehensive programmes.
