Conveyor Foreman – Concentrator, Zondereinde
House purchase:
Setaria village, 2021
“To be able to afford a safe and secure home for my family is one of my greatest blessings. The help from Northam with the purchase administration made it a breeze. They helped with filling in the application forms, which really helped the whole process. My family now has a place to call home. I have renovated the house to my style and made it comfortable for my family to enjoy. I am grateful to Northam Platinum; I have never seen a company with such an approach to helping employees to own their own house.”
Name:
Leago Stacia Magomarele
Position:
Auto electrician, Booysendal South
House purchase:
Emaweni village, April 2023
“My journey with Northam started when I got an opportunity for an auto electrician Learnership programme in 2019. After I qualified, I was appointed an auto electrician in 2021. Not only has Northam provided me with a career path, but its home ownership programme has significantly improved my life. The process was easy and simple, and the soft loan makes it easy to manage my finances. Emaweni village was a major factor in my decision to buy a home – it’s lovely and peaceful and fits my personality. To have a garden with enough space for my two boys to play is a dream come true.”

Position:
Control room operator, Eland
House purchase:
Open market in Brits, February 2023
“I have been working at Eland since 2018 for the last two years as a control room operator. I really appreciate the support provided by Northam because I have been rejected for a home loan in the past. But now, with a soft loan from Northam, I have managed to by a first home for myself and my 13-year-old son, without touching the savings I have put aside for his future. Owning a home is a great step for my family and meant I could leave living at my parents’ house. I just want to make sure other Northam employees make use of the homeownership assistance on offer.”
