Pest control activities done during the night on the 14/07/2018 by one of the safety reps. Serge Tshilombo being trained how to apply gel and wet spray in our kitchen at Frontier by the Safety Officer (Villa Judo & Rossi Insect Kill). Since pests are attracted to food premises which is an ideal habitat for them to live and reproduce, they pose a significant health risk. Pest Control is extremely important.

Pest control in our commercial Kitchens at Frontier is critical as our Kitchen sometimes operates all day, thus attracting vermin, flies etc… that are in search of food. Pests including flies, cockroaches and rodents, which carry and transmit many diseases and pathogens that are then are transmitted to our food and contaminate humans. As Safety Officer & Safety Reps, it is our responsibility to take control of pests in our commercial kitchens so that our food is free from contamination.

Good, better, best. Never let it rest. 'Til your good is better and your better is best.

MUMI CHILDREN’S CAMP

FRONTIER GREASE TRAPSSent in by Walter Kapend Kapenda | Safety Officer | Frontier | DRC

Sent in by Joey Mpyana | Business Development | Support Office | South Africa

We are pleased to say IFS is the only associate in partnering with MUMI for the Children’s Summer Camp. We had several meetings as to how we can get involved in this initiative starting in August. The reason MUMI has been involved in this project for the past 3 years is to help the children and prevent them for getting involved in illegal activities on the mine and to keep them off the mine (Safety). With Henlo approving a budget we are sponsoring the following to our local communities being Kawama and Matala:

Grease traps are an essential part of an industrial k itchen and drainage system like the one we have a Frontier. By keeping grease from going down our drains, we help keep your sewer line free of buildup and problems. Once a grease trap becomes full, however, it allows grease to enter the sewer system, creating build up that will eventually result in a clog or worse. For that reason Mr. Andre, is working hard on a daily basis to get rid dirt found in the grease traps.

What it is? A grease trap will contain animal fats and vegetable oils in kitchen wastewater that flow through our plumbing system before they reach sanitary sewer lines. If grease is allowed to build up too heavily, our lines will become clogged and backed up, which smells bad.

Rice = 1,200kg Maize = 1,200kg Beans = 600kg Protein = awaiting for confirmation

800 children The local church communities will be preparing the meals for the children.

REPORT ON CELEBRATION OF INTERNATIONAL CHILDREN DAY ON 1ST JUNE 2018 AT MUALAZI AND KAPANGA"Every child is a different kind of flower. All together they make this world a beautiful garden."Children are little miracles. It is hard to imagine a full and happy family without a child. All these children need care, support, attention and protection.

Every year on 1st of June a big holiday is celebrated - International Children's Day. International Children's Day is an opportunity to do something special for the young ones. It is all about treasuring children; praising and encouraging them to lead a fruitful life that is full of new experiences and adventure. The Day is a reason for joy that makes us relive the unforgettable moments of the most beautiful stage of our lives.

International Children’s Day dates back to 1925 when the world community got together in Geneva to talk about the wellbeing of children. A date that was finally decided was June 1, which is when much of the world marks the date, but some countries have their own national children days on separate dates as well.

Hundreds of events are organized across the globe to celebrate childhood and get people talking about the issues affecting children at the moment – and how to solve them. Mothers and fathers, teachers, engineers, doctors, government leaders and civil society activists, religious and community elders, and media professionals as well as young people can play an important part in making the world safer for children.

International Coal Ventures Ltd. (ICVL) also organized celebrations of International Children Day on 1st June’2018 at Mualazi and Kapanga where communities affected by mining operations are settled.

The celebration at Mualazi was organized at Mualazi Orphanage where more than 400 children from local community enjoyed the celebration and performed in cultural events. Moatize District Government officials including Ms Rosinha Victor Borges, District Director for Education and Ms Azelia Novels, District Director for Health and Community leaders addressed the children. One child having special disability was also gifted specially designed wheel chair for his movement. Children were also offered tasty food, fruit and juice which were made available by IFS on behalf of ICVL.

The celebration at Kapanga was organized at primary school where around 400 children from local community enjoyed the celebration and performed in cultural events. Children were also offered tasty food, fruit and juice which were made available by BGR, the mining contractor of ICVL.

Celebration of Children Day both at Mualazi and Kapanga was supervised and co-ordinated by Ms Ranjana Sinha, IFS Community Officer. On this occasion, children were also introduced to personal hygiene practices and copy of personal hygiene pamphlet prepared by IFS Community Cell was also pasted at Mualazi Orphanage and Kapanga Primary school for education of children.

Lakshmi Puja is a Hindu religious festival. According to legend, Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and lord Vishnu's wife, visits her devotees and bestows gifts and blessings upon each of them. To welcome the Goddess, devotees clean their houses, decorate them with finery and lights, and prepare sweet treats and delicacies as offerings. Devotees believe the happier Lakshmi is with the visit, the more she blesses the family with health and wealth.

Here are some pictures taken when we collected our weekly fresh seafood from our local supplier in Palma. We have been using the same supplier for over a year now and he has now realize that as the project is growing he is also growing in terms of supplying us more fresh seafood.

Mozambique has an interesting and flavourful cuisine that has been strongly influenced by the Portuguese who colonised the country for 500 years. Mozambique is justifiably famous in Africa for its cuisine. With its long coastline and rich fishing grounds, it’s no wonder that many of its famous dishes revolve around fresh seafood. The colonial history of the Portuguese is also seen in the use of spices such as chilli and the fiery Peri-Peri chicken.

Many tourists to the country visit Mozambique’s beautiful coastline to enjoy swimming and diving in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. What many tourists take away from their holiday are the tasty seafood dishes Mozambique has.

Many consider their shellfish such as prawns and crayfish to be the best in the world. In fact one of the best known Mozambique dishes is shrimp or prawns done Peri-Peri style. Seafood also forms a large part of the local diet, as it is abundant and cheap. A local dish without any Portuguese influences is Matata which is a seafood stew, usually made using clams in a peanut sauce. Grilled seafood often liberally basted in Peri-Peri sauce is commonly served along with rice and chips.

MOZAMBIQUE ARMED FORCES DAYSent in by Sheinila Santos | Regional Food Safety Manager | Mozambique

Several nations of the world hold an annual Armed Forces Day to recognise, venerate, and honour their military forces. September 25th, 1964 Mozambique celebrates the formation of the Front for the Liberation of Mozambique (FRELIMO) by anti-Portuguese groups who then began their armed campaign against colonial rule. This is also known as Revolution Day or the Liberation Forces Day. An Armed Force Day is a day whereby people come together to appreciate and support the armed forces for a day and pay homage to the armed forces.

On that we had a such pleasure to celebrate with the Quitupo’s Military for them to feel special on the Mozambique Armed Forces Day. The event was held on the 29th of September at Quitupo opposite to our Camp, where we had 35 military guys participating with the Military commander and other Military representatives, AMA1 security and IFS representatives.

The ceremony was successful, entertaining and we had various people who made very encouraging speeches in appreciation of what IFS had planned and made possible. IFS prepared a ceremony cake, gave them branded t-shirts, caps, mosquito repellent and hosted a braai.

The event went more than we expected, it was good and funny, you will see from some of the pictures that militaries were happy and smiling, doing their own braai.

We would like to thank AMA1 for all support and assistance that was given to us in order to make this a successful event.
