Richard John Pelwana Maponya, GCOB,〔(The Presidency - Republic of South Africa - Grand Counsellor of The Order of the Baobab in Gold )〕 (born in Transvaal on 24 December 1926〔) is a South African entrepreneur and property developer best known for building a business empire despite the restrictions of apartheid and his determination to see the Soweto township develop economically. ==Early career== At the age of 24,〔(Up from apartheid, Soweto millionaire a role model - AP )〕 Maponya, then a teacher, took a job as a stock taker at a clothing maker and subsequently won a promotion for both himself and his white manager. In gratitude, the manager sold Maponya soiled clothing and offcuts, which he resold in Soweto. With the capital acquired he attempted to open a clothing retailer in Soweto, but was blocked by the government's refusal to grant him a licence – despite the intervention by the law firm created by Oliver Tambo and Nelson Mandela. Instead, in the early 1950s, Maponya and his wife Marina (a cousin of Nelson Mandela) established the Dube Hygenic Dairy, which employed a fleet of boys on bicycles to deliver milk to customers in Soweto who had no access to electricity or refrigeration.〔Soweto Rising, Maverick magazine, volume 2, issue 2〕 By the 1970s the retail empire had grown to include several general stores, car dealerships and filling stations.
