Ceramic continued to partner with the Sedibeng District Academy at the Ulusha Elite Sports Centre, Vereeniging, to upgrade the previously dilapidated centre to reach more youths, introduce additional sports and help develop future sports stars. Ceramic has donated tiles, bathroomware and construction labour to the ongoing project. Today, 150 male high school student-athletes attend the institution; Ceramic is also currently helping to further revamp the facility to accommodate young female soccer athletes.
Employees from Pegasus, Vitro, Gryphon and Support Centre helped to clean the newly renovated facilities and raise funds for soccer kits for the academy’s youngsters. We also participated in a 67- minute charity soccer game, in which Pegasus was victorious. Pegasus made a R10 000 donation towards the sports kit fund, which earned them the title of Champions of the 2023 Ceramic Industries Employee Community Involvement Programme.
