Meet Scelo Ndima<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

For Scelo Buhle Ndima, joining the Firefighting Team was just the beginning of a bigger purpose. She discovered that safety is not only about policies and procedures but a shared responsibility. Through initiatives such as the Safety Indaba, eco-friendly school projects, and the MSME Programme, Scelo saw how Exxaro empowers communities, cares for its people, and protects the environment. Inspired by this, she enrolled at UNISA to study Health and Safety Management, aiming to contribute to a safer and greener future.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

\u201cBeing part of Exxaro has taught me that collaboration, safety, and sustainability go hand in hand. Together, we\u2019re not just working, we are building a future that empowers people and protects the planet.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Meet Nondumiso Makhubela<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

For Nondumiso Makhubela, working on the North-West Access (NWA) Belt Project at Matla Mine 2 has been a journey of personal and professional growth.

\u201cExxaro doesn\u2019t just build projects; it builds people. The exposure I\u2019ve had through this project has expanded my professional world and given me the confidence to take ownership of critical work underground.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>

These stories bring Exxaro\u2019s purpose of Powering Better Lives to life by developing our people, fostering collaboration, and building a safer, more sustainable future for all.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
