Sasol helps first-time owners to buy a house
First-time homeowners of Sasol Mining had the opportunity to buy a house from Sasol through a special programme.
This initiative of Sasol is part of this company’s ongoing housing scheme under the social labour plan programme and about 40 mining employees received the keys to their very first own houses on August 12.
These houses are located in eMbalenhle and Secunda and Sasol launched this project in 2014. About 260 first-time homeowners bought houses from Sasol through this project.
“Through this initiative, Sasol is not just providing a roof over people’s heads, but we are restoring dignity and hope to those who thought owning a home was out of reach,” said Sandile Siyaya, senior vice president of Sasol Mining.
“By providing affordable housing to permanent Sasol Mining employees, Sasol addresses one of the critical social issues facing the country, which is access to housing.”
Some of the key qualifying criteria factors of these homeowners are that they must not have previous government subsidies and not earn more than R40 000.
After the new owners received the keys to their houses, Sasol officials moved to an electricity substation, which Sasol upgraded and unveiled Phase 1 and 2 of the substation.
