Richards Bay Coal Terminal (RBCT) has, in the past year, invested more than R4-million in uplifting local communities at a time when it was most needed. This multi-million rand investment has been in the form of donations to some 31 regional non-profit organisations, as well as a Covid-19 relief drive to assist local communities.

The RBCT upliftment drive also took the form of infrastructure development, including the building of three new classrooms at Mfaniso Secondary School in KwaMthethwa, Dondotha.
