• The training covered HIV, TB, SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS, NUTRITIONAL

PROGRAMMES TO IMPROVE HEALTH, and symptoms of those diseases

• The course was attended by 18 Wellness Committee members
• We have experience in terms of the importance of knowing your status and getting treatment as

soon as possible.

• The importance of nutrition for our bodies was also highlighted, as well as the advantages of

growing your own vegetables

• The importance of knowing how to plant vegetables, knowing where are you going to plant them,

the types of soils etc., seasonal preference of different vegetables and fertiliser requirements were all covered by the course

• We are now empowered Wellness Champions, and we are able to deal with wellness challenges in

the chronic disease space, and we are able to educate our employees, families, communities etc. that a healthy lifestyle requires good nutrition, hygiene, exercise, stress management ,early treatment on infection as well as fatigue management

• The way forward is to implement what we have learned at the course for the benefit of the

employees and the company

• A sick workforce leads to poor production, whilst a healthy workforce leads to safe, good production
• Management are supporting the Wellness Committee, it is not a job for the Committee alone, and

everyone is a game changer on this journey of health and safety for our employees and contractors
