  Notes	The youngest son of John Charles Molteno. Harry partnered his brother, Ted Molteno, in developing their largescale deciduous fruit and apple farms at Elgin in the first half of the 20th century. Harry, like his brother, Ted, never married. Both brothers set up charitable trusts and left most of their wealth to them. In addition, Harry made several major bequests during his lifetime to universities and at least one school. Educated at Cambridge, he was musical. For many years, he and Ted had their cousin, Dr Ernest Anderson, also a bachelor, living with them. After Harry died, the Molteno Brothers Trust ran the farms and became a very large donor to various educational projects, notably the Molteno Project which concentrated on improving literacy and the teaching of English in Black schools in South Africa during the last decades of the apartheid era.
