Donations and Sponsorships to the community are based on needs analyses and Black Mountain Mine contributes to these projects by availing resources and funds to alleviate dire circumstances. VZI agreed to assist farmers by providing lucerne bales, lucerne pellets, drought pellets, and cattle feed pellets to the value of R2 million. The project kicked off on 10 February 2020 and the feed was distributed over 2 weeks in the 5 municipal areas (Pella, Pofadder, Onseepkans, Witbank & Aggeneys). The drought relief assistance ensured that the local farmers could feed their livestock for a maximum of three months.
