Steinmüller Africa, in partnership with Eskom, reaffirmed its commitment to social
upliftment by donating essential goods and creating meaningful connections to two
impactful community organisations in eMalahleni, Mpumalanga.
On 18 and 20 June, the Steinmüller Africa and Eskom Duvha Power Station team
visited Emalahleni Child and Family Welfare and the Elkana Educational Centre,
delivering groceries, toiletries and sanitary towels to each. These donations are part
of the company’s broader initiative to give back to the communities surrounding its
operations.
Elkana Educational Centre, a private, non-profit institution, provides care and
education for children with diverse abilities from disadvantaged backgrounds. The
school caters for learners across the pre-junior, junior, intermediate and senior
phases. The school welcomed the Steinmüller Africa team for a morning filled with
play and connection. Activities included netball, football and much to the learner’s
delight, time on the playground swings.
“This contribution will go a long way in supporting the children. The time spent with
them today will leave a lasting impression,” said Stacey Jansen, Principal, Elkana
Educational Centre.
Meanwhile, Emalahleni Child and Family Welfare, which has served the community
for more than 87 years, also received donations. The organisation plays a vital role
in child protection and social welfare services throughout the greater eMalahleni
area.
Our ability to serve our beneficiaries depends heavily on the generosity of
businesses like Steinmüller Africa and Eskom. This support makes a tangible
difference in the lives of many,” said Lerato J Bam, Board Secretary, Emalahleni
Child and Family Welfare.
Thomas Maduna, Acting Project Manager for Steinmüller Africa Duvha Power
Station, spoke at both handovers, underlining Steinmüller Africa’s enduring
commitment to corporate social responsibility.
“We continuously strive to bring about change and give back to the communities
around us. While these donations offer immediate relief, they also instil pride among
our employees, many of whom live in these very communities. Knowing their
company is actively effecting positive change is both motivating and meaningful,”
said Maduna.
Maduna’s words echo a broader philosophy that runs through Steinmüller Africa.
At Steinmüller Africa, we believe that meaningful change begins with showing up
and truly engaging with the communities around us. It is not just about what we give,
but how we connect. These moments of shared humanity remind us why we do what
we do. We don’t only build infrastructure, but also hope, dignity and lasting
relationships,” says Moso Bolofo, Steinmüller Africa Director.
Through initiatives like these, Steinmüller Africa continues to demonstrate its core
belief: that true progress comes not only through industrial advancement, but
through compassion, inclusivity and shared growth.
