The Joe Sibanyoni Foundation (JSF) is gearing up for a productive 2025, with plans to roll out a series of community and social empowerment programmes. Launched last year by Joe Sibanyoni, executive president of SALLBO and Taxi Choice, the foundation serves as a platform to build collaborative relationships with corporate and public sector partners. Its goal is to tackle societal challenges that align with government priorities, focusing on areas such as job creation, economic growth, and social relief.
“One of the most urgent challenges we face today, is the alarming number of graduates sitting at our homes without job opportunities,” Sibanyoni emphasised. “Together with the government of South Africa, we must address these critical things for our economy to grow faster and create more jobs for everyone.”
The JSF aims to serve as a catalyst for collaboration between public and private stakeholders, driving initiatives that not only support economic growth but also address pressing societal issues.
In December, the foundation demonstrated its commitment to community upliftment by providing a home to a disadvantaged family in Soshanguve, Tshwane. Conducted alongside officials from the Tshwane Municipality, this, Sibanyoni added is key part of the company’s mission to give back to communities in meaningful ways.
The foundation has also received a significant financial boost, with Sibanyoni contributing R10 million as seed funding on his personal capacity.
