Friendly rivalry and team spirit took centre stage when Sasol Mining employees gathered at the Kinross Sasol Club for the company’s fourth annual Sports and Wellness Day on October 17.

The event, arranged by the Sasol Mining Sports committee, brought together employees, their families, management, organised labour and wellness service providers for a day focused on building connections and encouraging healthier living.

Representatives from Impumelelo, Thubelisha, Syferfontein, Shondoni, Bosjesspruit, Sigma, Sasol Coal Supply, Central Workshop and the Destoning Plant participated in the event.

The day highlighted how sport can contribute to overall well-being, offering employees an opportunity to relieve stress, support their mental health and build stronger relationships with colleagues outside their usual work environment.

Syferfontein proved to be the standout team in both sporting codes. Syferfontein FC secured first place in soccer, with Thubelisha FC taking second position.

In netball, Syferfontein NC finished at the top of the standings, while Shondoni NC claimed second place.

The annual gathering forms part of Sasol Mining’s efforts to encourage a balanced approach to employee well-being, with sport providing a platform to promote its values of care and resilience.

The sports committee expressed its gratitude to everyone who participated and supported the event, as well as Sasol Mining management for its continued backing of the initiative.
