Pilanesberg Platinum Mines’ (PPM) newly established Community Relief Programme will today continue with the second phase of the Programme, which includes distributing family sized food packages to 450 vulnerable families across nine Bakgatla-Ba-Kgafela (BBK) villages.

Speaking about the Programme, Casper Badenhorst, PPM’s Chief Operating Officer says “The mine responded to President Cyril Ramaphosa’s call for assistance in looking after the most vulnerable people affected by the nationwide lockdown. The Programme started off with providing foods parcels to home based care centres that look after the sick, disabled, elderly and orphans.

We have now extended the Programme to include individual families; in the hope that it will help the vulnerable community members on our doorstep, some which are headed by children and the elderly.”

The 450 families have been identified in collaboration with Moses Kotane Local Municipality, Bakgatla-Ba-Kgafela Traditional Administration and Department of Social Development. The nine villages are Motlhabe, Magalane, Dithabaneng, Ntswana-le-Metsing, Ngweding, Ramoga, Lesetlheng and Lekutung.
