The district in which our mine resides comprises three municipalities, namely Gamagara, Ga-Segonyana and Joe Morolong. These communities feature a largely young population, with the majority of people having limited or no formal education. In this sparsely populated area - dominated by desert conditions featuring little infrastructure - poverty and unemployment are rife.

Sebilo seeks to employ as much unskilled labour as possible from the neighbouring communities, and to create opportunities for the acquisition of skills that will make the community more employable, or better poised to start their own enterprises, thus improving their quality of life.
