OLD MUTUAL FOUNDATION CASE STUDIES IN THE NORTH WEST PROVINCE Old Mutual understands the important contribution of our staff volunteers. In 2016, the Klerksdorp Old Mutual branch was recognised for its community engagement and willingness to go the extra mile. The branch staff chose Kediemetse Primary School, Klerksdorp, as their ongoing Care & Share Community project and provide regular assistance with the school’s vegetable garden. Not only does Potchefstroom branch manager, Moses Matlawe, encourage and motivate his staff to do community projects, but he also finds time in his busy schedule to volunteer at the Tshwaraganang Day Care Centre, which is why he was honoured with the 2016 Best Manager supporting Staff Volunteerism Award. 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. 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. MASISIZANE CASE STUDY IN THE NORTH WEST (CENTRAL REGION: NORTH WEST, FREE STATE, GAUTENG) Pick n Pay Spaza Township Economy Revitalisation Programme The programme was initiated by the Gauteng Department of Economic Development (GDED) following a township revitalisation roadshow that included a visit by the provincial government and its partners to 65 townships across Gauteng in 2014. The five new stores co-funded by Masisizane Fund (R6 118 733), Old Mutual Foundation (R2 000 000), and others are expected to create or retain a total of 75 jobs. Once phase one is fully implemented and proof of concept has been achieved, Pick n Pay is planning a national rollout. The next phase will target additional stores in Gauteng and Western Cape. Masisizane Fund intends to further participate in the rollout, attracting other partners.
