Exxaro’s Belfast mine invests in Covid-19 protection, awareness campaign
In its fight against Covid-19, coal miner Exxaro Resources’ Mpumalanga-based Belfast coal mine has spent R410 000 on prevention and screening measures since the virus began to spread in South Africa.
The mine invested the money into procuring personal protective equipment in the form of soap, bleach, dispensers, hand sanitisers and sanitiser stands, as well as face masks and wall-mounted digital thermometers.
In addition, the mine also partnered with nonprofit organisations to deliver food parcels to 155 families.
The donated items support schools and community members to comply with Covid-19 health and safety protocols.
Exxaro business unit manager Londolani Rampfumedzi says that, as a corporate, socially responsible and diversified mining resources company that has a vested interest in socioeconomic investment, Exxaro sees it fit to partake in these initiatives contributing to Emakhazeni municipality’s Covid-19 prevention and support measures.
Further, on July 23, the mine celebrated Mandela Month with Machadodorp-based Emakhazeni Boarding School, investing 67 minutes creating awareness and education about the implications of Covid-19.
In line with the mine’s vision of taking the community along the digital journey, it also launched a free community WiFi spot at the school, adding to its complement of 13 WiFi hot spots across the communities in the Emakhazeni municipality.
