Infrastructure development
Infrastructure development
• Sasolburg Operations has installed 19 licence plate recognition cameras as well as 15 live-view security cameras in
Sasolburg, Zamdela and Vaalpark. With recent upgrades to the Bongani Mabaso Eco Park, we installed additional cameras
to ensure adequate security at the Welgelegen pump station.
• The community market project in Colonga, the first of the two projects, has progressed well. We have completed the
foundation works of the main building, the toilets and the water tower. The steel structure is being finalised and this
will be followed by the construction of a borehole.
• In Secunda, the construction of four sewer pump stations in Kinross has been completed.
• We completed the rehabilitation of two schools in Inhambane – Palmeiras Primary School and Chitsecane Primary
School. The schools, together with other infrastructure, had been damaged as a result of the 2019 category 4 cyclone
in Mozambique.
Health and wellness in communities
• Provided emergency relief support to 10 registered feeding schemes in Metsimaholo in the Sasolburg area. Every week,
these support 3 500 people, including orphaned and vulnerable children, children with disabilities, HIV and AIDS patients,
rape victims, rehabilitated drug addicts and the unemployed.
Health and wellness in communities
• Throughout the year, we donated sanitisers to the Ministry of Health to support the fight against COVID-19.
• In Secunda, the Youth Drug Prevention and Morale Regeneration Programme continued during COVID-19. The programme
was supplemented by the aftercare support group initiative that will ensure community members who need assistance to
reduce or stop drug dependence receive help.
Sasol helps rebuild Mozambican school amid Cyclone Idai aftermath
In March 2019, a Category 4 cyclone hit the city of Beira and its surrounding districts, affecting more than one million people. The city
infrastructure sustained signifcant damage.
Social services were severely impacted and private businesses, homes and government infrastructure were all brought down.
Sasol joined hands with the Republic of Mozambique Pipeline Company and Central Termica de Ressano Garcia Gas to immediately
contribute to the reduction of the negative effects of this disaster in Sofala and northern Inhambane.
Together, a total of US$650 000 was provided for projects implemented in partnership with Red Cross Mozambique.
After almost two years, the Red Cross has completed the rehabilitation of all infrastructure in both Beira and Inhambane. Three health
centres were rehabilitated in Beira and handed over to the government in a formal inauguration attended by local administrators.
Recently, the Red Cross also completed the last of the two primary schools that required repair and rehabilitation in northern Inhambane.
Chitsecane Primary School, with a total of 209 students who were split up into two shifts, studied in very precarious conditions for almost
two years as five classrooms and an administration block were destroyed in the storm.
It is a new dawn for both teachers and students. A formal inauguration is being prepared by the school and the community.
Celestina Nhiquetuane Munguambe, the school head, expressed her delight at the rehabilitation of the school.
“We are happy to have our school back,” says Munguambe.
“We know more cyclones will come our way but the school has been built stronger now. Not only have the lives of children been improved,
but those of teachers too. It was hard to teach and study in those difficult conditions. Thank you Sasol for being part of our solution.”
