Zee Africa embraces its corporate social responsibility

Cosmo Secondary learners were in for a treat when the Zee Africa team spent a day at the school recently, as part of their corporate social responsibility.

As part of an initiative to benefit the South African community, the Zee Africa team volunteered to visit the secondary school in Johannesburg. The team lead by CEO Harish Goyal donated a day to paint one of the classes and also helped establish a much-needed new science lab for the school. The team also took time to talk to grade 12 students and to inspire them with a vision for future opportunities. Goyal addressed the students, saying, “It was time well invested with young scholars of impressionable minds, educating them on the various career options available within the media and broadcast space. You could visibly see how excited these learners were at the thought of expanding their horizons.” Zee Africa also took the Tembisa Community Hospital under its wing. The hospital in the previously disadvantaged township of Tembisa, Johannesburg, was in dire need of upgraded facilities and Zee stepped in to assist with this in addition to sponsoring medical equipment for their surgical wing. These projects were done in collaboration with the SA Medical and Education Foundation (SAME) who have identified facilities in underprivileged communities that need urgent assistance. The SAME Foundation is a national non-profit organisation, specialising in the upliftment of communities through strategic projects in the health and education sectors.
