Mandela Day: Bonalesedi Secondary School
As part of a Mandela day initiative, Grenex identified Bonalesedi Secondary School in Mamelodi, Pretoria East and hosted a Careers Day on the 28th of July 2023. The school has about 677 learners (inclusive of 2 neighbouring schools). Esteemed speakers from the Grenex team delivered addresses to the students on career guidance, career advancement, options available related to Grenex’s operations and educational requirements. The team conducted a walk around the school and performed a lighting auditing that will be followed with lighting retrofitting. The day was a huge success as other stake holders were in support. These included Grenex’s partners such as MWEM, Oeling and the University of Johannesburg.
Women's Month: Empowering Women
Grenex (Pty) Ltd celebrates women. This past weekend, Grenex celebrated women from various professions in commemoration of women’s month. The event was hosted by Ms. Maria Michael, an Electrical Engineer and an Energy Professional. Annually, the 9th of August 2023 is celebrated as National Women’s Day to acknowledge the strength and resilience of women and their contribution to the society and the nation. National Women’s Day forms part of South Africa’s Women’s Month in which tribute is paid to the generations of women whose struggles laid the foundations of the progress that has been made in empowering women and achieving gender equality to date.
