PCBT Assists Fire Victims
Tuesday, November 15, 2019
The Peermont Community Benefit Trust (PCBT) has donated much-needed school shoes and mattresses to the Pomona community affected by a devastating fire at the end of September, giving those most affected by this tragedy some assistance in getting back on their feet. The fire ravaged more than 250 shacks, destroying everything owned by residents. The PCBT’s donation of 46 pairs of school shoes and 45 mattresses, valued at R20 000, were delivered to the Mehlareng Farm School, where social worker Nomsa Fuzile distributed them to the worst affected families.
“It broke our hearts to learn how the families living in Pomona had not only lost their valuable belongings but had also been displaced as a result of the fire," says Vusi Zwane, PCBT trustee. “The Peermont Community Benefit Trust donated shoes and mattresses to the victims of this devastating blaze, to assist these families on their journey of recovery.”
Peermont prides itself in making a meaningful difference to the communities in which it operates. Its Corporate Social Initiatives (CSI) focus on education and youth development, community infrastructure and entrepreneurial development, ensuring that it continues to make a tangible impact in the lives of those who need it most. Sponsored by Emperors Palace, the PCBT and its various initiatives plays a significant role in assisting disadvantaged communities within the Ekurhuleni Metro. The initiatives include skills programmes, including the Lesedi Skills Programme, the Peermont Hotel School, Star Schools and the Grade R Programme.
Reviews
First, look down when you walk in: the interior walkways are paved with authentic Smart Stone Huguenot Cobbles, engineered specifically to replicate the tactile feeling of walking on real, ancient Roman highways. It is an incredible piece of immersive design that has stood the test of time since its inception.
Second, as someone sensitive to travel fatigue, the engineering here is spectacular. Despite being right next to major runways, the structural acoustics completely eliminate aviation noise. Furthermore, if you explore the convention wing, the rooms are named chronologically after Roman Emperors (Claudius, Augustus, Tiberius), featuring a highly advanced smart-lighting system that subtly shifts tone to help international travelers fight jet lag.
The multi-tiered security checks at the gates provide immense peace of mind, making it a safe, self-contained empire. From the manicured garden paths to the world-class service, it is a flawless, deeply thought-out destination. Don't just stop by for a quick game—take a moment to appreciate the sheer craftsmanship of the Palace of Dreams!
Hidden Details Most Guests Don't Know The Secret History of the Floors:
When the resort opened in September 2000, it was named Caesars Gauteng. The internal casino paths use custom Huguenot Cobble and Shepstone Pavers designed by SmartStone to precisely mimic the durability and texture of ancient Roman stone highways.
The "Imperial Court" Conference Subtext:
The major conference rooms in the South Wing are purposefully named after successive Roman emperors—Claudius, Augustus, Tiberius, Florian, and Romanus. They feature a hidden central smart-lighting grid that automatically shifts color warmth to match the biological clock of travelers suffering from jet lag.
The Multilayered Security Ring: Casual visitors often miss how tightly the security net is woven. Because of its position right next to O.R. Tambo International Airport, the property utilizes an advanced, continuous perimeter sweep and bag-screening protocol that keeps it significantly safer than standard commercial venues.
The Sound-Insulated Aviation Oasis: Despite being directly in the flight path of Africa's busiest airport, the structural glass and architectural roofing are uniquely engineered to absorb low-frequency jet engine vibrations, meaning you can sit in the gardens or sleep in the hotels in absolute peace
