Today, Sasol contributed R10 million to Rejuvenation Metsimaholo as part of Sasol’s broader R100 million per year Project Ikusasa, that is seeing Sasolburg further developed and improved to enhance the sustainable development of the area.
 
“We are very proud of our partnership with the Metsimaholo Municipality. This investment will further drive the development of our communities, while building strong and mutually beneficial relationships,” said Maurice Radebe, Group Executive, Corporate Affairs and Enterprise Development, Sasol.

“This contribution will make a significant impact, as we focus on bringing Rejuvenation Metsimaholo closer to the community. Our goal is mobilisation of the community, through the community,” said Ian Kennon, Chairman of the Rejuvenation Trust.

Rejuvenation Metsimaholo, which is a trust governed by its own independent board of directors and operational structures, started in early 2000 as a vehicle to improve the socio-economic development of the Metsimaholo Municipality.

The trust focuses its efforts across specific areas, such as social well-being, safety and security, environment, arts and culture among others. The funds will be used to facilitate the development of projects developed and managed by the communities across these specific areas. Teams responsible for each area engage with communities on a grass-roots level to ascertain the basic needs and challenges they face.

“Rejuvenation Metsimaholo is an excellent example of how we can maintain community participation and ensure that we understand their needs on a micro-level, while enabling them to improve their well-being,” said Radebe.
