During the past six years, the Sishen Iron Ore Company Community Development Trust has uplifted the lives of near-mine communities in the Northern Cape and Limpopo provinces. The benefits of one of its 128 development initiatives is this 400-beneficiary Thusano Association for the Blind bakery project, for which more than R5-million was approved. In the last three years, this iron-ore-funded trust has developed community projects worth R550-million. The contributing iron-ore mines fall within the JSE-listed Kumba Iron Ore, an Anglo American group company.
