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