OUR CORPORATE SOCIAL PROFILE
Helping those in need
Letsema La Bana is an initiative by the South African Police Services (SAPS) that the Johannesburg Expo Centre has hosted since 2009 in partnership with the Rand Show. It was, however only in 2010 that the event was officially named. Loosely translated, Letsema La Bana means “joining hands for the children” and depicts the poignant purpose and collaborative effort that characterises the day. The beneficiaries of the event are the families that have lost a parent or partner, in their heroic efforts in serving our country. The purpose of this initiative is to honour and celebrate the lives of these fallen heroes and heroines and a means of showing support to their families. The event has to date grown from strength to strength each year, and we hope that it continues to do so in the future. JEC also recognises that such an event requires every possible assistance, therefore calls on other organisations that would like to join hands with us to ensure that the event continues to be a success.
Inkwenkwezi Primary School based in Soweto has been part of our corporate social initiative profile for many years.
The Johannesburg Expo Centre (JEC) makes donations in the form of stationery, backpacks and blankets, to name a few, throughout the year and is always willing to help with other needs identified by the school. To date, JEC has revamped the school’s library, donated cleaning products and provided reading books for the learners.
These initiatives would not have been possible without our sponsors; GL Events South Africa, Main Event Catering, Recall Effective Security, Lodge Security, Expo Guys, ZF Cleaning, Sizwe Extinguisher, Mahatsi Developers, Sound Headquarters, Multi-Cup, Blue Ribbon, Ethos Productions, DMG Events and Pick ‘n Pay.
The Johannesburg Expo Centre (JEC) also recently added Riverlea Primary School, located in South of Johannesburg to its corporate social initiative profile. So far JEC has made donations that include the conversion of two class rooms into a library, refurbishments of the rooms, flooring installations, the provision of bookshelves, furniture and books for the library. We are grateful to our sponsors for the unfathomable support we continue to receive from them.
