Making a difference in our local communities and society as a whole is integral to our business philosophy. As the staff members are one of our most valuable resources, we recognise our responsibility to the people who work for the company and their families and their spiritual, social and economic enrichment is of great importance to us. We believe in creating a workplace where our people are given opportunities to nurture their inborn talents and develop their leadership qualities.

Mooigezicht Estates implements a broad range of social and development benefits and this includes a comprehensive social responsibility programme and a range of facilities for the support of our employees and their families.

These include housing for our staff and their families as well as for some retired staff members, the Estate clinic, library as well as sport and recreation facilities for our workers and their children and spiritual support programmes.

The company’s responsibility commitments extend to people in the broader local community beyond the estate boundaries as this is an important part of the business ethos. These include soup kitchens which are run throughout the winter months, the clothing bank which is available for community members who are in need of clothes due to a crisis and the community spiritual outreach and the distribution of bibles and spiritual material.  We also offer an annual tertiary education bursary to one of the top matriculant achievers from the community.
