Local Service Infrastructure
All social impact infrastructure projects were
contracted to local black-owned construction
companies, five of which are 100% black
women-owned.
R59 On-Ramp Repairs
In order to promote the safety of our communities
around our fenceline operation, Sasol refurbished a
portion of the R59 road to minimise accidents due
to a large pothole on the on-ramp. In addition, an
investigation found that the repeated failure of this
section of the road to be repaired was as a result of
ground water coming to the surface. Excavation of
the area and the construction of designed subgrade
layers to contain and channel the water away was
executed successfully.
Zamdela – Bell Road
Completed the repair of Bell Road in Zamdela, which
is the main access road into the township from the
northern side. The road was in a state of major
disrepair which posed a safety risk for community
members and children who use the road on a daily
basis. The repair entailed pothole repair, fog spraying
and resurfacing of the remaining road. This repair was
positively received by the community and schools
around the area.
Upgrade of Zamdela and Sasolburg Taxi Ranks
In our quest to preserve the dignity and safety of
our community members who commute with public
transport daily, Sasol refurbished the Zamdela and
Sasolburg taxi ranks, which were in a poor condition
and unsafe for our fenceline communities. Both taxi
ranks are completed and fully operational.
Ekangala Secondary School Covered Assembly Point
The learners at Ekangala Secondary
School did not have a covered assembly point, which
created a challenge when the school wanted to make
important announcement during rainy and sunny
days. We supported them by building a structure to
cover learners in case of rain or sunny conditions.
Zamdela Earth Dams
Sasol received a community request to safeguard
redundant earth dams in Zamdela. The successful
construction of the v-drain ensures that water gets
routed away. This project has been completed.
Renewable Energy for Metsimaholo Clinics
Due to load-shedding in the area, patients and
practiotioners were being negatively impacted during
consultations. Sasol supported the Department of
Health and the community by installing solar solutions
to provide energy sustainability to six clinics in the
Metsimaholo area. All reticulations were installed
and the external security systems and solar panel
installations are completed.
