This platform seeks to track and trace all the bursary recipients of the Sasol Inzalo Foundation (now called the Sasol Foundation), since its inception in 2008. The primary objective of this portal is thus to help connect the alumni of the Foundation and build a community that can work towards giving back to society, whilst also providing alumni with a platform to expand their professional and social networks. The Foundation also seeks to capture the journey and stories of its alumni into becoming the movers and shakers of the South African economy and society. Our intention as the Foundation is to document the successes of our alumni in order to understand the real social and economic impact of our bursary programmes on beneficiaries.
The alumni program will entail a few activities which will include, but not limited to:
Consent will be sought from the beneficiaries to ensure compliance with POPIA.
