“We need to start educate our children so that they can understand from their early lives to learn about their wellness,” said the mayor.
Anglo Coal CEO Mr July Ndlovu said even though they have lost two employees they were trying very hard to take care of them.
He added to say that they were very concerned about their wellness and that of their spouses. A moment of silence was observed in the memory of the two.

Wellness is always on our mind, we are always prepared to help. 90% of our workers are tested but we are worried about the ten per cent, we pioneer a free and available programme for them. We want to create an Aids free generation,” said Mr Ndlovu.
