Please thank Swys Joubert of Babore on our behalf

Dear Gerhard,
Swys Joubert is something of a philanthropist. He has made donations to fledgling environmental centre at the Landfill site and helped to do some initial bush clearing.
Thanks you Swys,
Michelle Nel
On behalf of the Linbro Environmental Monitoring Committee
Another initiative by Swys:
Sweeping and cleaning company, Babore Gauteng, has changed the lives of five disabled Alexandra residents who have gained full-time jobs in the company’s broom manufacturing hub.
Babore Gauteng is subcontracted for routine maintenance of Gauteng freeways which are managed by the South African National Roads Agency (Sanral).
Its activities include litter picking, sweeping, clearing drains and debris on the eastern, southern and western freeways
Babore’s Gauteng Director, Swys Joubert, explains that they started with hand labour to clean the freeways but now use automated cleaning machines.
“Each machine is fitted with four brooms which need to be replaced weekly,” Joubert explains. “Since we manufacture the brooms in-house, we ring-fenced this type of work for disabled Alexandra residents looking for employment.”
