Corporate Social Investment

because we care

We continually strive to contribute to the economic and social well-being of people in the communities within which we operate. We recognize that business success and longevity is deeply linked to society's progress and to building capacity and equipping future generations to be ready to continue what we started.

Sakhiwo’s goal is to not only build state of the art infrastructure but also to create a legacy by sustainably improving and developing the lives of the people in our local communities.

We’ve had the privilege of lending a helping hand at several local institutions, schools and day-care centres as part of our commitment to Corporate Social Investment.
