[10 Marks]
1. Environmental Restoration Initiative
Jagersfontein Development should implement a robust programme to repair
environmental damage caused by past industrial activity. This may involve cleaning up
polluted areas, removing toxic substances, and restoring natural vegetation.
Example: Rehabilitating the Charlesville zone by planting indigenous trees and
conducting regular testing of soil and water to ensure safety and ecological balance.
2. Community Infrastructure Support
The company can contribute to the development and repair of essential local
infrastructure. This includes rebuilding damaged roads, upgrading drainage systems,
and providing safe public spaces to improve community living conditions.
Example: Partnering with local authorities to fix rural access roads and improve street
lighting for safety.
3. Health and Wellness Programme
A CSR focus on public health is essential. The company could support mobile clinics,
sponsor health screenings, and provide mental health services for residents impacted
by environmental disasters.
Example: Regular health outreach events in affected areas like Itumeleng to check for
respiratory issues or waterborne diseases.
4. Education and Skills Development Initiative
Investing in education and vocational training empowers local residents and supports
long-term economic growth. This may include scholarships, adult education classes,
and technical skills workshops.
Example: Offering bursaries for local youth to study environmental science and training
unemployed adults in construction or ecological restoration skills.
