In 2010 NWK’s Board of Directors
approved
a
Corporate
Social
Responsibility (CSR) policy. Since then
NWK has been involved with and has
initiated several CSR projects.

NWK opens its heart to communities
– Grip4Charity Golf Day

NWK’s seventh Supplier Golf Day –
Grip4Charity - was held successfully
on 28 August 2012. This initiative that
was held for the first time on 8 August
2006, has since truly contributed to the
upliftment and sustainable improvement
of local communities.
The nominated organisation that
benefitted from last year’s project was the
SAVF Huis Lou van Wyk in Sannieshof.
On 14 November 2012, Heinrich
Krüger (chairman: NWK) and Johan
Bezuidenhout (manager: NWK Corporate
Marketing) handed over a cheque of
R110 000 to the management team of the
institution. NWK thanks its loyal suppliers
for their input into this initiative.

Empowerment for a brighter future

Ikateleng (the Tswana word for “empower
yourself”) is one of South Africa’s most
successful empowerment projects and
NWK has proudly been a part of it since

2011. Ikateleng has been run by the
North West University with great success
for more than 24 years. The objective of
this programme is to prepare learners
for university education and to help them
meet university admission requirements.
Through NWK’s contribution more than
300 grade 10, 11 and 12 learners have
been helped.

NWK congratulates class of 2012

The Grade 12 Well Done Function of the
Ditsobotla area office of the North West
Department of Education was held on
Friday, 11 January at NWK’s Training
Centre in Lichtenburg. The main sponsors
were NWK and Afrisam.
The top achievers, teachers and schools
were announced. NWK donated laptops
with software to the value of more than
R 160 000 in total to the top achievers of
the seventeen schools in the area.
Mr Danie Marais, Managing Director
of NWK, touched on leadership in his
speech to the learners. He said that
leadership started at a young age and
that the support from parents, family
and friends as well as the vital roles
played by teachers and mentors, would
continue to be significant influences
in the development of future leaders.
He congratulated the seventeen top
achievers on behalf of NWK and wished
them well with the new and exciting
chapter in their lives. He ended with a few
words in Setswana.

Children excited about new shoes

NWK’s school shoes project was carried
out again this year with great success.
In 2012 more than five hundred excited
school children each received a pair
of shoes, socks and a beanie. Samual
Nkone, a retired teacher and later
manager of the Department of Education’s
Lichtenburg area office, who initiated the
project in 2010, has been involved since
the start.
The aim of this project is to support pupils
at farm schools, who are hampered by
difficult social and financial conditions.
The project again confirms that NWK is
committed to the cooperation with local
communities to uplift them and create
sustainable improvements.
