South Deep's position on the Coronavirus pandemic

Ensuring the health and safety of our employees is our first priority

South Deep is fully supportive of the measures announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, and the efforts by government to manage this unprecedented crisis.

While South Deep, like any other South African business, finds itself in a very challenging situation, we recognise that we have a broader responsibility to make a positive contribution to combat this pandemic.

Philani Community Development Centre

The Philani Community Development Centre was established in 2001 as a community-based organisation. Founder, Phyllis Malope, started the centre to provide upliftment in the community of Zuurbekom, particularly to the youth who were often found sitting on the pavements.

“The South Deep Community Trust supports Philani beneficiaries to gain skills, knowledge on trade, governance and business management, and provides support to them with tools to start their businesses independently.”

Phyllis Malope, Philani Community Development Centre Founder and Executive Director

CASE STUDY – SOUTH DEEP COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

Zimele Poultry Farm

In 2017, South Deep funded and facilitated the establishment of the Zimele Poultry Farm, a community development project. It is co-owned by eight local community members. The farm sells thousands of chickens to hawkers and the public, playing an important role in stimulating the local economy. Farm employees have also received business training as a result of the project.

“Our knowledge has grown, and we have planned to increase our capacity. We look forward to expanding and employing more people from the community.”

Stanley Mtjanda, Zimele Poultry Farm director
