The donation - equal to almost R11 million - will assist Guinea with clinical management, social mobilisation, medical coordination and other key mechanisms of controlling the disease.
Patrice Motsepe, executive chairman of African Rainbow Minerals (ARM), announced the donation in a statement today.
His office said the donation was on behalf of the Motsepe Foundation and ARM to the Ebola Fund in the Republic of Guinea to assist in the fight against Ebola in West Africa.
"The Motsepe Foundation will continue to contribute and assist in the fight against Ebola in West Africa and will work together with various stakeholders and other interested parties," the statement said.
Motsepe called on the African and international business community and the medical fraternity to continue contributing and assisting to fight the disease, which has claimed thousands of lives in the latest outbreak.
