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.

He was the fifth son of the late Mohale Refilwe Selomo and Mrs Sewela Rebecca Selomo. Cde Evans was a father, a husband, son, uncle but above all a revolutionary cadre, a political commissar, freedom fighter and an outstanding leader who cut his political teeth in student political activism.
He grew within the ranks to become President of the Student Representative Council(SRC) at Magoletsa High School where he also became involved in the Congress of South African Students (COSAS) of Bolobedu Zone which he led as Deputy Chairperson.
