Emperors Palace Assists Bulang Mamati Co-operative

Tuesday, April 13, 2021

Emperors Palace has always prided itself on it’s CSI initiatives and during the last few months, despite the tough economic climate, has come forward to assist learners and educators stay safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. The well-known entertainment and leisure resort donated R20-million to procure Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for 169 schools in Tembisa, Kathorus, Daveyton and Etwatwa through one of its Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment vehicles, the Infrastructure Fund. The project kicked off in September last year with the selected schools receiving masks, shields, gloves, aprons, soap and cleaning materials at different times since then. In a further effort to help, the Palace of Dreams hired local small businesses and co-operatives to make the masks. Among the latter that have benefited from the project is the Bulang Mamati Co-operative in Klippoortjie Park which was assisted by the Revelation Co-operative and Bana Bamohale Co-operative, both in Buhle Park., Since the beginning of the initiative the three co-ops have produced just under 50 000 masks.
