The Alexandra Police Station will benefit from the R115 000 raised at this year’s golf day hosted by the South African division of Cummins.

This year’s event, held at Modderfontein Golf Course in Edenvale was an overwhelming success raising the much-needed funds to build guard houses outside the police station, in addition to remarking the parking spaces.

Darrel Moodley Cummins SA Power Generation Sales Engineer says, “We are exceptionally pleased with the strong turnout, and generous donations received by all of our guests on the day. Without them, this annual initiative would not be possible, and we are grateful for their ongoing support.”

The police station previously had security guards guarding the two gates. They want to move away from that and put the police at the gate. As a result, they need to build guard houses. The station also currently has a number of parking-related challenges due to poor markings. This is another area where Cummins SA will be assisting with the funds raised.

As a socially responsible corporate citizen, Cummins encourages all of its employees to do at least four hours of community service per year, which they are allowed to do during work hours.
