Caring for our Communities

Ubuntu – the profound sense that we are human only through the humanity of others; that if we are to accomplish anything in this world it will in equal measure be due to the work and achievement of others.” - Nelson Mandela
Southern Africa is fortunate to have created and intrinsically developed the notion of Ubuntu, an ideal that as individuals, we exist because of one another, turning to humanity in order to build a better community. Boxer’s Ubuntu Projects is a division within Boxer that seeks to help others in need, in order to build up and uplift the world around us. Throughout the many towns and cities, neighbourhoods and homesteads that we visit and trade in, we make great efforts to connect with people. Humanity and compassion are core values of Ubuntu and fundamental pillars upon which we seek to build a strong and lasting structure.
The Ubuntu Projects are a crucial way for all Boxer employees to be part of, rather than an addition to, a community. We pride ourselves in being the ‘community champion’ to our customers, putting them at the top of our list of priorities, earning their respect through the ways in which we treat every person as an individual, not only instore, but wherever they may be. We offer our thanks for their support through giving back, it is a mandate we proudly fulfil to the best of our ability.
Annually the Ubuntu Projects support thousands of men, women, children, places of safety, schools, places of worship, NGO’s, NPO’s and families through various donations and initiatives, when they are needed the most. We deliver our mandate through the filters of respect and dedication, enhancing our already strong relationships in many ways, whether they shop with us daily, or are yet to experience the joy of walking through the doors of their friendly, nearby Boxer.
Being Africa’s Favourite Discounter, we are far more than a convenient Discount Supermarket that offers low prices and great service. We are the community champion, fuelled by Ubuntu with a sole purpose; Serve our communities, and we do so with pride.
