CSI PROJECTS
Our community investment footprint.
IMPROVING
LOCAL
HEALTHCARE
Transalloys has completed the construction of a primary health facility in Vosman, eMalahleni. The R11 million project delivered in partnership with the Nkangala District Department of Health and eMalahleni municipality.
The Facility provides greater access to primary health care for over 10 000 local residents who were receiving sporadic visits from the area’s mobile clinic.
The centre, is staffed by officials of the local Department of Health, it includes chronic and primary healthcare services and antenatal care. It also has an emergency unit where patients are stabilised before being transported to the nearest hospital.
The health centre includes, among other facilities, four consulting rooms, six counselling rooms, an administrative unit, breast feeding area and playroom. A regional contractor, employing dominantly
local labour, was appointed in the construction of the facility.
NEW
LIFE CHILDREN'S HOME
We played a pivotal role in the establishment of the New Life Children’s Home which provides a place of safety, love and care for orphaned and abandoned children.
Our R7.5 million investment in the Witbank-based facility went towards its initial construction. Five modern containerised homes provide comfortable living spaces for children of varying ages while dedicated house mothers give care and assistance to support them in each and every aspect of their lives.
DIGNITY FOR
VICTIMS OF GBV
Transalloys supports the national effort to end the scourge of violence perpetrated against women and girls and responded to a request for a safe space in which victims of gender-based violence and abuse could be provided with professional services.
A fully-equipped containerised unit was installed at the Vosman Police Station and enables victims to access support in a dignified, private and non-threatening environment.
SKILLS FOR THE
DIGITAL AGE
A large number of educational institutions in South Africa lack computer skills training facilities and the resources essential to functioning in the digital age.
Transalloys turned a classroom at Witbank’s Zacheus Malaza Secondary School into a computer room which has enabled the school to offer Computer Application Technology as a subject. We set up 56 computer stations, including laptops and furniture. The facility is open during break times so that learners, the vast majority of whom do not have access to computers at home, can complete assignments and conduct research.
TAKING CARE OF THE BASICS
Witbank’s Clewer Primary School, which caters for 1,300 learners, lacked adequate classroom furniture for its teachers and learners.
Shortages resulted in many learners having to share desks and chairs, most of which were in poor condition. We provided the school with furniture for the entire learner body and responded to a request to re-tile classroom floors. The project was delivered at a cost of almost R700 000.
ARTISAN & METALLURGICAL
LEARNERSHIP PROGRAMMES
Our artisan and learnership programmes serve to provide us with a pool of suitably qualified employees while at the same time helping to address the critical shortage of technical skills in a region of high unemployment.
Our artisan programme is run in partnership with the Manufacturing, Engineering and Related Services Sector Education and Training Authority (MerSETA) and the Colliery Training College.
This 18-month initiative provides us with a pipeline of qualified millwrights (electrical and mechanical), boilermakers, electricians and instrumentation technicians who are absorbed into our workforce on completion of their trade tests.
The metallurgical learnership programme is run by the Mineral Mining Training Institute and involves a 12-month programme in metals production and related processes.
Eighty individuals coming from local communities have benefited from these programmes to date.
Participants are sourced exclusively from local communities.
