OUR INSPIRATION | Coega Steels receptionist Nolufefe Mgoqi may be the friendly face visitors know and love but there is a lot more to this exceptional young woman than meets the eye.

Nolu, as she is affectionately known to everyone at the plant, may have been confined to a wheelchair since the age of 10 but she is hardier than even our toughest billets.

She has represented Eastern Cape in Boccia – the bowls-like sport contested by athletes with severe physical disabilities – on no fewer than eight occasions.

At the end of August, she will be heading off to another set of trials to see if she can earn cap number nine.

Coega Steels is incredibly proud of Nolu and her husband Anele, who serves as her ramp assistant when she turns out for the province at tournaments around the country.

What an honour to support a colleague who continues to inspires us daily.

ROCK SOLID | That is what 20 000 women were on August 9, 1956, when they stood unmoved in front of the Union Buildings in silent protest of inequality.

On that day they also famously sang the song, "You Strike a Woman, You Strike a Rock", to bring home their point.

In modern-day South Africa it is not only a day when we as men remind ourselves of the bravery of those ladies, but also when when we stand alongside them in protest of social ills like gender-based violence.

On this Women's Day, the men of Coega Steels salute the 51 women that stand their man at the plant. You rock!

NEWS | Water-supply challenges should be the last thing on learners' minds when they hit the home stretch towards their year-end exams. We at Coega Steels are grateful that we could make a difference on this occasion.

REAL-WORLD EDUCATION | Eastern Cape steel manufacturer Coega Steels has invested in water projects at two schools in Gqeberha.

The aim is to mitigate the effects of long-standing leaks and exorbitant water bills, thereby giving teens an environment that is far more conducive to learning.

However, our commitment to education extends well beyond these schools' walls. At every opportunity, we proudly host students at the plant so that they can gain first-hand experience of the industry.

What is better than having a hand in moulding the Bay's next crop of engineers?

DRIPS & DRABS | South Africa's young people is amazing.

Considering that millions are educated at schools where there is no access to running water, their ability to rise above their circumstances is phenomenal. Their resilience is, however, no excuse for allowing this harsh reality to continue.

Coega Steels is doing its bit by investing in water projects at two Nelson Mandela Bay schools. We believe it is exactly the kind of partnership needed to forge the future leaders of our country.

IN GOOD COMPANY | South Africa's private sector is keeping the country afloat.

It may not be what people in certain quarters want to hear but that is the nation's current reality. In all likelihood it will remain this way for the foreseeable future.

However, amid all the failures, there is hope.

South African companies contribute well over R10-billion to social initiatives each year and it is estimated that more than 90 per cent of this spend goes towards education projects.

For example, Gqeberha secondary-steel producer Coega Steels recently stepped in to help two public schools in Motherwell township tackle the water issues that have dogged them for years.

The company says the decision was an easy one to make since investing in South Africa's young people is an investment in the future of its communities.

NOW & FOREVER | Motherwell High School principal Ntomboxolo Kula has a lot on her plate.

Being responsible for 1 500 Gqeberha teenagers' education and development into adulthood is already a challenge and the last thing she needs is for her teaching staff to be baulked by a stop-start water situation.

If educators are to succeed in shaping young minds they should not have to fight for every drop of water.

Coega Steels can't change the past. What we can do is to show empathy and set an example for others to follow. A small gesture now can have a huge impact down the line.

After hearing of the plight of schools in the area, we offered to assist Motherwell High and the neighbouring Douglas Mbopa High in finding solutions for high water bills and the intermittent access to it.

It seems fair that the staff should be able to focus less on sanitation and more on teaching, which is the real gateway to sustainability.

SUSTAINABILITY BEGINS AT HOME | Most companies in South Africa understand the importance of sustainable business practice - for better or for worse.

Fail to reduce your carbon footprint and the consequences - especially within certain sectors - may be hefty. Financial penalties, market exposure and access to capital can all be impacted.

However, sustainability should not be limited to a buzzword at the office. It should extend to the community in which the business operates.

Improving the future of those around us is also intrinsically linked to our own sustainability.

Coega Steels is currently lending a helping hand at two schools to alleviate water "pressure".

Mending leaking pipes, installing green water solutions or envigorating a veggie patch won't change the world today, but it will make it a better place for a few thousand learners in Motherwell.

REAL RIGHTS | Section 27 of South Africa's Bill of Rights states everyone has the right to sufficient food and water.

Yet right now more than 3 600 public schools in the country lack reliable water and sanitation, a statistic that stands at odds with what our young people are entitled to.

Simply waiting for the situation to improve does not fit in with the mindset at Coega Steels. If our children are to have any chance of realising their potential, the private sector needs to start playing a central role in their development.

As a major employer in Nelson Mandela Bay, many of our staff's kids are directly impacted by this unfortunate situation.

That's why Coega Steels is putting its hand up by tackling long-standing water issues at two local schools.
