Sappi hands over Typek paper to
support education in KZN

Last year April, when South Africa had just
entered into the reality of what it would take to
survive in a COVID-19 disrupted world,
Sappi Southern Africa immediately stepped up
to the plate and began with the distribution of
much-needed scarce items such as hand
sanitiser, face masks and nutritional porridge -
to clinics, crèches and NGOs in our
neighbouring communities.

At the official handover ceremony, a Warburgia salutaris
(Pepperbark tree) was planted, commemorating the occasion
and highlighting the important work Sappi is doing in the
conservation of this rare tree breed.
