JOHANNESBURG – The is a huge gap between rural and urban areas and it can be seen in the lower productivity of economic activities, poverty levels, the quality of infrastructure and even the service delivery in rural areas.
The Skills for Future Scholars Development programme, which will target 100 matriculants from five schools in the Capricorn North District, Zebediela, Limpopo was officially launched at Matladi Project High School. “Wits University’s Tshimologong Digital Innovation Precinct has vast experience in driving 21st-century skills and empowering unemployed youth, graduates and entrepreneurs with digital skills. We exist to ultimately create world-leading African digital entrepreneurs through digital skills and entrepreneurship development.
“Tshimologong,, as the implementing partner of the Future for Skills Scholars programme, strongly believes in diversity and inclusivity and one of the criteria that was stipulated and emphasised by our sponsor BANKSETA, included enrolling persons with disabilities. We have one scholar from the five schools we identified who is disabled. Because we are targeting matriculants only, there is a possibility that these schools might have more numbers of persons with disabilities.
“Indeed Limpopo is huge and if we had it our way, we would span this great initiative across provinces. We chose five schools in Moletlane District, Zebediela, namely Matladi , Maroba, Mohlopeng. Reholegile and Sebotse. We chose this district because one of our software developers, Katlego Molala, is an alumni of Maroba and we appreciated the impact of giving back to the community that gave us a dedicated software developer.
Tshimologong said they have made efforts to ensure that the scholars have unhindered access to this programme. Scholars from around the various schools in the region will be provided with transport to attend training at Matladi Project High School every Sunday.
