Richards Bay Coal Terminal (RBCT) has, in the past year, invested more than R4-million in uplifting local communities at a time when it was most needed.
This multi-million rand investment has been in the form of donations to some 31 regional non-profit organisations, as well as a Covid-19 relief drive to assist local communities. The community driven relief initiative included the distribution of 964 food parcels as well as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as face masks to schools.
The RBCT upliftment drive also took the form of infrastructure development, including the building of three new classrooms at Mfaniso Secondary School in KwaMthethwa, Dondotha.
ULUNDI Mayor, Cllr Wilson Ntshangase recently delivered building materials and groceries to the Sangweni family of eQwasha Reserve outside Ulundi, after their mud house was destroyed in heavy rains.
The family consists of six adults and five children.
‘Even though our municipality is not mandated to build houses for residents, we took the decision to go out and seek donations from local business people to assist this family,’ said Ntshangase.
‘We always used to do this for needy families requiring urgent assistance.
‘Our plan is to build a two-room house for them, which is an urgent project as the family now does not have a structure to use as a house.
‘We bought all necessary building materials, and the construction of the house is expected to be completed during the course of the coming week.
‘We also bought groceries for them as they are struggling to make ends meet.’
Local ward councillor, Jomo Ngema applauded the efforts of Mayor Ntshangase and the Ulundi municipal council for treating the matter with urgency.
‘I am delighted about our mayor’s decision to prioritise this family. Luckily, none of the family members were injured when their home collapsed,’ Ngema said.
A tearful beneficiary, Sholiphi Sangweni, said she was grateful to see the determination of the mayor to rescue her family from their ordeal.
