Komati, Mpumalanga – The silence left by the shutdown of the local power station in 2022 is more than just a drop in electricity output. It is the quiet of a community struggling to rebuild after losing its economic heartbeat.
Since March, Seriti Institute has been implementing the Social Employment Fund (SEF) in Komati, a programme under the Presidential Employment Stimulus that enables work for the common good. SEF is built on the belief that communities have value, even when the market overlooks them. It is more than a job; it is a pathway to purpose.
