In addition to supporting the Tsadzanani Crèche, Sasol Energy together with its franchisees across South Africa continued with the Sasol Friendly Neighbour Programme that encourages increased engagement with the communities in which Sasol operates. This engagement is focused on supporting early childhood development in the communities.
“Through this partnership with our franchisees we are able to play an even more active role in the development of our future leaders. Our support to early childhood development through this programme include donations of items such as mobile library units, educational toys and stationery. We believe that these donations will positively enhance the learning experiences of the children. The franchisees are commendable for their efforts in this regard,” adds Somerset.
Tsadzanani Crèche’s owner Ms Phumzile Ngwamba said a lot still needed to be done, not just at the Crèche, but also in relation to the community as a whole. Tsadzanani houses a total of forty one children and they do the best they can to develop the numeracy, literacy and life skills of those children.
