Welcome to the Sasolburg Community Action Group Together we can achieve more

Introduction

The Sasolburg Community Action Group was established in June 2015 as a non-profitable, non-political and non-racial community group. The group was formally registered as a non-profit organisation on 18 May 2016 under the name Sasolburg Gemeenskap Aksie Groep, registration no 2016/201094/08.

The founding members of the group came to the realization that, unless members of the community were to get actively involved on a personal level, infrastructure would drastically deteriorate to the point where families would no longer be able to live a dignified life in an acceptable, safe and healthy environment.

Vision

Sasolburg Community Action Group’s vision is to restore Sasolburg and surrounding area’s infrastructures to working and maintainable levels, thus enhancing the health, safety and overall social wellbeing of residents.

Mission

The group’s mission is to take hands with the local Metsimaholo municipality and other stakeholders in order to assist the residents of Sasolburg and surrounding areas with infrastructure services by creating a unified platform where the residents, local business and the municipality can come together to assist with the repairs and maintenance of the existing infrastructure.

Approach

In order to achieve our vision we will concentrate on infrastructure services where the residents and local business can make a contribution towards the outcome of the projects that we undertake. We will be different in that we will not only request financial contributions towards a project, but we will allow residents and businesses to contribute in whichever way they are able to.

We will focus on the areas that is of greater concern to the residents whilst assisting the residents and municipality with minor tasks as and when they are brought to our attention. We will always operate within the confines of the law and with the permission of the local authorities.

We will create projects to assist us with the following focus areas but will not be limited to:

  • Repairing of potholes
  • Cleaning of public and recreational areas
  • Repairing of street lights

Community Involvement

As the name of the group implies, the community forms the basis of all projects undertaken by the group. No project is undertaken without it being requested by the community. This approach ensures that the group remains an asset for the community and municipality as a whole as the projects undertaken are supported by the community and it alleviates the burden on the scarce resources available to the municipality.
