CONCRETE COMMUNITY INVESTMENT

Community consultation

The Steenbok Clinic offers primary healthcare to local residents and surrounding communities and the necessary upgrades form part of local economic development (LED) projects committed to by Afrimat Nkomati Anthracite to address fundamental needs specified by the community.

This forms part of three LED projects at a combined total of R8 000 000:

• Construction of the Mawewe community hall in Madadeni – completed in July 2022.

• Steenbok Clinic –completed in January 2023.

• Construction of the Skhwahlane community hall – estimated completion date May 2023.

Both community centres will serve as venues for training and development initiatives, traditional events and formal community meetings.

Contracting from within the community

Local company Tsobanang Construction was appointed as the main contractor for the project and Caru Project Management managed it. Local sub-contractors were also afforded the opportunity to provide services for the project.

To ensure local labour got the opportunity to work on the project, 22 people from the community were hired.

Afrimat is genuinely passionate about South Africa and believes in creating value for its employees, shareholders and the communities in which it operates.

AVOID CONCRETE STRENGTH DELAYS.

As winter approaches, the colder ambient temperatures can cause delays in concrete strength development as well as finishing aspects. Rest assured, this challenge can be easily overcome using CHRYSO’s Premia Range of admixtures and demoulding agents.
