2020-FUN
Some would say 2020-ONE, but here at MineRP it's 2020-FUN!
This past year a lot has changed at work, at home and in our communities... but that won't stop us from celebrating the big and small things! From staying focused on achieving MineRP's goals, for breaking boundaries, setting new targets and reaching new highs as a company and as a family!
Let's celebrate a whole year of lockdown and may 2021 be a year where we will THRIVE!

March 2021
Birthday
Celebrations
13 March 1997 - the day MineRP was founded, and a day we will always celebrate! Just like any good old party, it is a day filled with with fun, laughter and food... but this year we had to celebrate it a bit differently!
Andy Grove once said, "There are two options; adapt or die"... and at MineRP we never say no to a challenge! Because who wants to miss out on a party??
On Friday 12 March 2021 we all joined online for a virtual party and it was great fun. We baked our own cake-in-a-mugs (the success of it is debatable), switched on our videos, learned some new things about our colleagues in small break-out rooms and played a few games. Along with the awkwardness of a video conference, I think we can all agree it was great fun! To see a few faces that we haven't seen in a long time, made it extra special and to be reassured that we are all in this together was exactly what we needed to give 2021 another run for it's money!!!

Mike Woodhall installed his own solar system, for hot water and electricity.
"The solar hot water cuts one third of our electricity usage. And the solar panels, a more recent addition, seems to cut remaining Eskom power by at least half even with the rubbishy ‘summer weather’ we’ve been having..."
Now on a sunny day the Woodhall household doesn't need Eskom anymore!
"We have extra capacity and are ready to supply power back to Eskom when they change the rules (watch the space)"
Only sunny days expected for the

An eventful lockdown for the
Taylors!!
We all know they saying, when life give you lemons, make lemonade... and that is what they Taylor's did! They found new hobbies, renovated their garden and welcomed a daughter-in-law into their family! They prepped for the marriage reception in anticipation of family coming from the 4 corners of the globe (New Zealand, UK, Brazil, Argentina, Mauritius, Sri Lanka, Australia, Mexico and Zimbabwe – oh and SA), but with lockdown it unfortunately didn’t happen.

CHRIFTT

In our first Vibe Tribe series, we focused on our values and how we define each value within MineRP!
In our next Vibe Tribe series, we asked some of our colleagues to share their stories of how they live & experience the CHRIFTT values... because when you share a story - spark a story!!!
