Illovo, Jobs Fund project continues to reap rewards for community
Four years in, the R127-million Small-Scale Grower Cane Development project has recorded notable successes, with over 860 sustainable jobs created and 3 000 ha of cane developed on communal land owned by small-scale growers. Moreover, the project has engendered benefits for members of the community, in terms of jobs, tangible income and skills development, stakeholders reported during a media site visit to the Sezela community, south of Durban, on June 8.
