The Cape Tercentenary Foundation (now The Khula Cape Foundation):
The Cape Tercentenary Foundation was founded in 1950 by Edward and Harry Molteno, pioneers of the Cape fruit industry.
They were extremely well read, appreciated and enjoyed music and the theatre, and were devoted to the natural environment.
They wished to establish "a fund for the cultural development of Cape Town" and their first donation of £2500 was made to the Cape Town
Orchestra, the South African Public Library and the Chamber Music Society.
The Cape Tercentenary Foundation came into being with the following mission in mind:
to preserve, promote and encourage literature, the visual and performing arts, and the natural and cultural environment in the
Western, Eastern and Northern Cape Provinces.
The name later changed to The Cape 300 Foundation but in 2019 it was decided by the committee that the Foundation needed to modernise
its name and hence the name The Khula Cape Foundation has been adopted.
