OLD MUTUAL FOUNDATION CASE STUDY IN LIMPOPO<br />
Old Mutual encourages and supports staff to get engaged in community projects by<br />
volunteering their personal time or contributing financial support. Through the Staff Payroll<br />
Giving programme, employees can support social causes through monthly donations from their<br />
salaries. Their donations are further matched rand-for-rand by the Old Mutual Foundation and<br />
then distributed to deserving organisations, such as the Elim Hlanganani Care for the Aged in<br />
<strong>Limpopo</strong>. Funding of R500 000 was recently provided towards the holistic care of the frail and<br />
aged in the area. One of the ways assistance is given is through the training of home-based<br />
caregivers to attend to the needs of the elderly. As Director Florence Khosa says, “We ensure that<br />
no-one in our community is left alone without help.”<br />
The MASISIZANE FUND focuses on enterprise<br />
development and job creation to help alleviate poverty<br />
and improve food security in South Africa. This is<br />
achieved through encouraging entrepreneurship and<br />
capacity development and financing of micro, small<br />
and medium enterprises (SMMEs). Preference is given<br />
to SMMEs with 51% plus ownership by women, youth<br />
or people with disabilities.<br />
The Masisizane Fund disbursed R147m worth of funds<br />
in 2016 through soft loans in the three high-impact<br />
sectors and facilitated the creation of 862 jobs against<br />
a target of 625 jobs.<br />
In <strong>Limpopo</strong> Masisizane disbursed funds of<br />
R14 013 840 across four clients creating 68 new jobs.<br />
MASISIZANE CASE STUDY IN LIMPOPO<br />
Sasesikani Co-operative<br />
Sasesikani Co-op is situated in Mahonisi Village in<br />
the Vhembe District Municipality. The co-op was<br />
established in 2004 and is managed by a board of<br />
directors of the co-op that consists of nine members<br />
who are all contributing actively in the business. The<br />
co-op has created eight jobs for the people around the<br />
village (excluding themselves).<br />
Most of the members are from the village and not<br />
very literate. However, there have been changes in<br />
management since the previous General Manager,<br />
Mr Khoza was involved. There are now more clearly<br />
defined roles in the business as there is a treasurer,<br />
an administrator and a production manager. The other<br />
members are supervising transport, cleaning of chicken<br />
houses and the process as a whole.<br />
The co-op members have gone for training in egg<br />
production, marketing and business management.<br />
Despite all of this there is still a need for further<br />
training in business management and administration to<br />
effectively run this business.<br />
