SPREADING THE MADIBA MAGIC AT EXXARO

In celebration of Nelson Mandela’s legacy, Exxaro’s Business Unit teams rolled up their sleeves to celebrate Mandela Day on 18 July, helping to uplift and support their communities to make a meaningful impact.

Cultivating growth and sustainability

The conneXXion teamed up with Siyakhana Growth and Development a Non Profit Organisation (NPO) to make a vital contribution to the community by installing essential water infrastructure at Sefako Mapogo Makgatho Primary School in Atteridgeville. This water supply fuels the school’s vegetable garden, benefiting around 1500 children. Siyakhana provided seedlings for the occasion, which were further bolstered by seedlings from nurseries established by Exxaro volunteers. The team planted the new seedlings, expanding the garden, ensuring its long-term sustainability and positive impact on the school community.

@Matla Mine
Nurturing young minds

Matla Mine’s Mandela Day celebrations brought a smile to Nolwazi Early Childhood Development (ECD) and Lehlaka ECD. The dedicated team devoted 67 minutes to a range of activities including gardening, painting, refurbishing, and donating essential items. They even partnered with their service provider, Servest, to give the premises a fresh look by cutting the grass. Their collective efforts will help improve the learning environment and promote sustainability, honouring Mandela’s legacy to create a better life for all.

@Leeuwpan Mine
Empowering future generations

Leeuwpan Mine’s celebration of Mandela Day at Botleng Secondary School was marked by generous donations aimed at supporting the wellbeing of students. The team provided reusable sanitary towels and dignity packs to Grade 8 students and conducted motivational sessions, addressing critical issues impacting the young learners.

@Grootegeluk Mine
Building brighter futures

Grootegeluk Mine contributed to the Lerekhureng Combined School on Mandela Day by giving it a makeover when they painted classrooms and planted fruit trees. The team also donated over 100 pairs of shoes and in collaboration with African Maintenance Equipment (AME), they provided the school with gardening tools and a stationery voucher. The team’s actions demonstrated their commitment to sustainable community development and continuing Mandela’s vision of social justice.
