Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a huge part of our workplace culture. As one of our standard business practices, we are dedicated to achieving a positive impact on society. Giving back as a team connects us to each other, keeps us more invested in what we do as a company, and makes us look forward to coming to work in the morning.

An annual day which has a profound effect on girls, with many choosing a career based on their day in the workplace.
In 2017, we hosted eight learners from the Kwabhekilanga Secondary School, during the 15th annual Cell C Take a Girl Child to Work Day. The learners spent the day under the mentorship of the executive team. They learned what the company is about, what it does, what roles the respective employees play, how the company operates on a daily basis, and what reputation management is all about.

How to access finance for tertiary studies and how to gain work experience
Geared up to share insights, life experiences and stories of how they overcome challenges to reach for their dreams, the Vuma team paired off and engaged with the Grade 12 learners. The interactive discussions included topics on how to access finance for tertiary studies, how to gain work experience, how to get classmates to listen to them while they’re talking, and the chances of getting a job after completing studies. After hearing touching stories, taking eager questions and sharing many laughs, Vuma gave a little extra in the form of magazines, calendars, educational brochures, lanyards and pens, and fruit packs.
