The Southey Contracting Mondi Richards Bay team recently completed a successful annual shutdown at the Mondi plant. Delivered safely, efficiently, and on schedule. Another strong example of teamwork, precision and commitment to excellence in action.

10/03/2026

We don’t just view safety as something with a sign on the wall. It’s an active daily practice, even in the most extreme conditions.

During our recent site shutdown, our team faced grueling temperatures exceeding 40°C. To ensure everyone remained focused and hydrated, we held a "Pause and Reflect" session with all 140 employees. This wasn't just a break. It was a collective commitment to accountability and care for one another.

As a result, and despite the challenging environmental pressures, the team achieved zero injuries.

To recognize this incredible commitment to a Zero Harm culture, our site leadership issued Powerade, chocolates, and chips to the team, a small token of appreciation for a massive achievement in safety.

Leadership means showing up for your team when the heat is on. When we prioritize people over the pace of work, everyone goes home safe. 🤝
