News Flash

  • South Africa’s Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy, Mr Gwede Mantashe (MP) will today officially open and handed over a Healthcare Centre to the Rockdale Community.
  • The Minister will further inspect the Electrification Project in the community.
  • 493 houses in Rockdale North have been electrified and funded by the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE) through the Integrated National Electrification Programme (INEP).

The Rockdale Community Healthcare Centre is part of Seriti Power Social Labour Plan (SLP). Social Labour Plans (SLPs) are implemented to ensure that holders of mining and production rights contribute towards the socio-economic development of the areas in which they operate in as well as the areas from which most of their workforce is sourced.

The INEP is aimed at actively contributing towards sustainable development and economic growth through universal access to electrification in the country. Minister is expected to be joined by members of the Mpumalanga Provincial Executive, Local and District Mayors, Senior Officials of the DMRE and Seriti Power Senior Managers.

Climate change is upon us and now is the time to react in a more diverse and broader approach to sustainability in the built environment. We challenge architects, property developers, urban planners, renewable energy professionals and green building specialists. We also challenge the funding houses and regulators and the role they play in facilitating investment into green projects. Lastly, we explore and investigate new technology and real-time data to speed up the journey in realising a net carbon zero environment for our children.
