Byline: Refeloe Letsoisa
22 July 2024
To honor Mandela’s legacy, Sasol volunteers came out in numbers on Thursday, 18 July 2024, at the Secunda plant and in Brandspruit to pack food hampers that will be distributed to welfare centers across Sasol’s fence line communities.
The beneficiaries of the food hampers are orphanages and centers for vulnerable children and child-headed households within Mpumalanga’s Govan Mbeki Municipality, Lekwa, Dipaleseng, and Nkomazi.
Similar packing events took place in Germiston, Durban, Sasolburg, and Sandton. Sasol partnered with the Department of Social Development for the distribution of the hampers. Some of the food hampers packed in Secunda were delivered at the Enduduzweni Women and Children Initiative Centre in eMzinoni, the House of Hope Development Centre, and Okwam’ Nokwakho Drop-in Centre in eMbalenhle. The KwaZulu-Natal recipients are located in Durban South.
Sasol, through its #SasolforGood program, continues to implement various social impact projects that are in line with the spirit of Mandela Month. The focus of this year’s Mandela Day activities was to provide comfort to vulnerable groups and impact society in a meaningful manner.
Apart from delivering the food hampers, Sasol volunteers also engaged in various social programs to support old age homes and disability centers across Govan Mbeki Municipality, in what is a demonstration of one of Sasol values: Be Caring.
