Sasol gives back to community on Mandela Day
Volunteers pack food hampers for the needy.
Volunteers from Sasol’s Secunda plant gave back to the community by packing food hampers at the Sasol plant and Brandspruit on July 18 as part of their Mandela Day celebrations.
These food hampers will be handed out to welfare centres in the Govan Mbeki, Lekwa, Dipaleseng and Nkomazi municipal areas.
They will focus on centres with orphans, vulnerable children and child-headed households.
Sasol will take hands with the Department of Social Development when distributing these hampers and some of the beneficiaries include the Enduduzweni Women and Children Initiative Centre in eMzinoni, the House of Hope Development Centre and the Okwam’ Nokwakho Drop-in Centre in eMbalenhle.
Sasol, through its #SasolforGood programme, continues to implement various social impact projects in line with the Mandela Month initiatives.
Nomia Machebe, Sasol’s manager for media and communications, said the focus for this year’s Mandela Day activities is to provide comfort to vulnerable groups and to impact the community in a meaningful manner.
Apart from delivering the food hampers, Sasol volunteers will also engage in various social programmes to support old age homes and disability centres in the area.
Machebe said this is a way of demonstrating Sasol’s values of ‘Be Caring’.
