December News


Themba Training is now taking on new heights!  In October we took 15 of our trainees to a four Star Lodge (Feathers Lodge) for a further Practical Business training. The majority of those attending aspired to be in the catering business.  Aneen, Feathers Lodge Manager, shared about how they started small and grew to be one of the best lodges in Cape Town. She also gave some tips on hospitality. Our trainees didn’t just learn about hospitality, they experienced it. This was indeed a huge encouragement for some of our trainees. A young lady by the name Princess who has a cleaning business is now getting a weekly practical training at Feathers Lodge. We believe that out of this initiative she well be able to grow her business, run it with excellence and possibly be able to get contracts for there for her cleaning business. 




As we look to 2011, Themba Training is hopeful for more new business opportunities and new relationships for our trainees so they can move form survival mode to a place of true self-reliance.

The Themba Training team would also like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Adrian Lange, who resigned as TT Project Manager at the end of October, for the solid foundation he has left us to build on. Adrian resigned to focus on his tourism business. Indeed Thembalitsha as a whole will miss this man who has given his all to build this project. We will forever be grateful to him for all he has done for us and wish him and his family all the best.
