Description

On April 24, 2021, Longyuan handed over the the first phase of the Municpal Sports Stadium. In early 2020, Longyuan South Africa invested about ZAR 6 million to renovate and reconstruct the Municipal Sports Stadium, which was in disrepair due to the lack of funds. The project added a high quality standard football field, as well as 4 brand new netball fields. The second phase was due to be completed in October 2020, and included the construction of new netball fields, fencing and dressing rooms. Construction on this delayed project was delayed because of the Covid-19 pandemic. This investment is part of Longyuan South Africa's goal to contribute ZAR 15 million each year to the community to promote the development of the local economy around its Mulilo De Aar Wind Power Project. Other projects that Longyuan has undertaken include those related to culture, education, medical and health care, skills training, and other public welfare undertakings in the community.
