The handing over of the masks took place at the firm’s offices in Merebank, on Monday, 15 June.
IN a time where protective masks are a great need, KZN Premier Sihle Zikalala has expressed his appreciation to global packaging and paper group Mondi, following its donation of 100000 FFP3/ N95 medical grade masks. These will go a long way in protecting frontline healthcare workers in the province from Covid-19.
The handing over of the masks took place at the firm’s offices in Merebank, on Monday, 15 June and was also attended by KZN Health MEC Nomagugu Simelane-Zulu, and co-chair of the KZN Growth Coalition, Moses Tembe, among other high-ranking officials.
These higher grade medical masks, which are much sought after, have been donated to The Solidarity Fund for delivery to the KZN Department of Health. This donation is at a cost of just under R10 million and the result of a truly collaborative effort across the global Mondi network.
