Motupa Evans Selomo Foundation was established in response to the overwhelming proposals from about 550 members who converged in the WhatsApp group immediately after his passing on. The said WhatsApp group was named “Rest in Peace Motupa Evans Selomo” and was established with the rationale to ensure that those who studied, worked or lived or served with him in different structures at least get an opportunity to bid a farewell to this revolutionary legend through tendering messages of condolences.
Cde Motupa Evans Selomo was a true community leader and as messages of support trickles in, there was increasing feeling that honouring him with condolence messages may not be enough and having noted the magnitude of the funeral, the group decided on immediate task of assisting the family in organising the funeral and contributing financially as a way to bid farewell to this gallant fighter. No words or level of assistance was enough to bid farewell to Cde Motupa Selomo given the role he played from student politics to the workplace and community. Within a few days of his passing and after his funeral, there was an alarming proposal in the said WhatsApp group for establishment of Cde Motupa Selomo Foundation as a way to preserve and continue to deepen his legacy of empowering mankind. From student politics and civil servant work he stood for the improvement of the livelihoods of the masses. A task which many felt that those who lived, worked or served with him must continue to advance at all costs for the betterment of the lives of the downtrodden. It is against this background that Motupa Evans Selomo foundation exists today.
