SECTION 4: MEASURES TO ADDRESS HOUSING AND LIVING CONDITIONS – REGULATION 46 (c) (iv)

---

4.1. Mechanism to Address Employee Housing.

The Company has no hostels for its employees. Majority of the Mine’s employees reside in the local areas as illustrated in the Labour Sending Table 3. Organised labour negotiated for a housing allowance. All employees receive an amount of R3 200.00 per month as a housing allowance. 

It should be noted that majority of the land in KwaZulu Natal belongs to the Ingonyama Trust and leased to residence. This poses a challenge for banks to fund home loans in areas where there are no title deeds. People in the area build their own houses.

ZAC will continue to engage with union to come up with a strategy to facilitate home ownership by employees.

4.2. Mechanism to Address Nutrition.

ZAC has a canteen which provides nutritious meals to employees daily ZAC subsidises employees at 50% of the cost.
