Affirmative Action Policy
We have identified potential formerly disadvantaged employees and promoted them to positions of authority within their capabilities. They have been given internal training which has proved satisfactory and we will continue to offer training for their individual gain as well as promotions. The above company has created employment for the previously disadvantaged.
The company provides free accommodation with basic facilities which includes a kitchen, toilet and shower, room with beds and a television set. Social functions are organised by the company such as braais. Sports Fun Days are also organised with other companies.
Internal technical training has been given to unskilled workers to gain experience. Unskilled workers received certificates for project induction courses. Some employees have attended training courses on fire protection.
The company has made several donations to various charitable organisations as well as black educational institutions. We have contributed to sports functions held by the local fire department for various communities.
