Zibulo’s renovation and expansion of the Zamelani Abadala Old Age Group Centre has provided an enhanced environment for senior citizens in the Govan Mbeki Local Municipality.
The centre prepares daily meals, arranges physical activities, arts and crafts and skills training for 120 elderly people. It also provides vital home-based care for 70 community members who, due to their advanced age and health, are unable to visit the facility. Zibulo’s R3.2 million investment paid for the construction and refurbishment of a dining hall and recreation room, an administration block, consulting and examination rooms, bathing facilities and a fully equipped kitchen.
Isibonelo upgraded the Thandanani Service Centre in Bethal, Govan Mbeki. A registered non-profit organisation, the centre houses several community-focused organisations that provide essential services, including support for the elderly, healthcare, basic skills programmes for youth, and after-school support for children from underprivileged backgrounds. The renovation of facilities and installation of palisade fencing represented an investment of R500,000.
As part of its commitment to employee and community safety and infrastructure sustainability, Goedehoop has been actively maintaining the R1697 public road, with total project costs to date amounting to R6 million. While road maintenance has been an ongoing activity, the frequency of repairs has increased since 2022 due to deterioration caused by trucking activities.
