Upon reading more on Africa's economy and such to see the reason why South Africa needs the grant request, I find that South Africa has already has a good supply of resources, well-developed financial, legal, communications, energy, and transport sectors, a stock exchange (the JSE Limited), that ranks among the top twenty in the world.
Why does South Africa need the fundings from The Gates Foundation? Another country might be in more need of the money in reality.
South Africa has industries than provide and bring out iron and steel, engineering, food processing, diamond mining, and gold.
And most of those that are poor are the xenophobic people that have been living in South Africa before the Dutch and the British invaded and colonized South Africa.
They reject the offers only because they think that the immigrants are the ones that are getting all the good jobs and earn their way up. So should I get the money and pass it to the leaders of the country, the ones keeping it for themselves, or to the poor native that want everyone else out of their native country.
