officially handed over a water reticulation infrastructure development project valued at<strong> more than R13 million to the Masilonyana Local Municipality<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was done on Thursday (10\/02).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>The water reticulation infrastructure development project formed part of the 2017-\u201921 Social and Labour Plan projects that Sibanye-Stillwater had to deliver to the Lejweleputswa District Municipality and the communities surrounding its operations.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>To deliver the project, Sibanye-Stillwater signed a Memorandum of Under\u00adstanding (MoU) with the Masilonyana Local Municipality, and the MoU was con\u00adcluded in April 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project entailed fixing the sewer network and toilets in Masilonyana to enable them to be fully functional. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This would in effect provide proper sanitation to the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Sibanye-Stillwater has committed R13,5 million towards the project.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>During the construction work, 35 temporary jobs were created for local community members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cThe project aligns with Sibanye-Stillwater\u2019s vision of creating superior value for its stakeholders,\u201d says Gideon Petlele, spokesperson.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thabisile Phumo, senior vice-president and head of stakeholder relations, said that citizens who are deprived of good sewer connections and water supply are exposed to health hazards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>\u201cWe believe the project will improve the quality of life and safety of the residents of Masilonyana by providing proper sanitation and reducing the occurrence of com\u00admunicable diseases,\u201d Phumo stated.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sibanye-Stillwater\u2019s Beatrix Gold Mine
