Mine opens R2.5 million community hall
Openpit mining company Afrimat’s Nkomati Anthracite mine, in Mpumalanga, in late July officially opened the Mawewe Community Hall in Madadeni, in partnership with the Tribal Authority, Nkomazi Local Municipality and the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy.
Nkomati Anthracite committed over R2.5-million to fund the construction of a brick-and-mortar community hall as part of its local economic development (LED) projects, after a long overdue commitment by the previous owners of the mine.
This is the first of three LED projects committed to by the mine, which addressed fundamental needs identified specifically by the community.
Another community hall of R2.5-million will be constructed in the village of Skhwahlane, to be opened by November 2022. By 2024, a total upgrade and an additional wing will be constructed at the Steenbok Clinic in Mangweni, also to the value of R2.5-million.
The community halls, which can accommodate up to 250 people, will serve as venues for training and development initiatives, traditional events, and formal community meetings.
Construction of the Mawewe Community Hall started on the January 17, 2022, and was completed by June 2022.
Nineteen people were hired from the local community, as well as five local small-, medium-sized and microenterprises (SMMEs).
Afrimat states that it is “genuinely passionate about South Africa” and that it believes in creating value not only for its employees and shareholders but also for people in the communities where it operates.
Afrimat states that “it has been a privilege to partner with key stakeholders to positively contribute to the Madadeni community”.
