New Class, New Project Manager, New Year

Our graduating Class of 2014

Themba Training began 2015 with a joyful Graduation of the 2014 MBA Students on 4 February. Congratulations to our students on their amazing progress - we can't wait to see what you do with your newly acquired skills! Along with our 2014 graduates, the teachers and students took some time to say goodbye to Frances Fuchs, who has been the project manager at Themba Training. Frances' investment in the project is undeniable and we know she will be sorely missed. But we are happy to still have her in the Thembalitsha family as she moves to be the manager of Mama Themba! We also want to welcome on board Portia Motjuwadi who has been active in Themba Training for several years and is stepping up as Project Manager.

The new, all-female Class of 2015 kicked off on the 9 Feb with 20 new students. Welcome, ladies! We're overjoyed to have you joining us for the microbusiness training this year. And this class will hopefully be able to take advantage of our newly spruced up Computer Room, awaiting Internet connection from Telkom. This addition of technology will allow our students to learn the in's and out's of computers and typing and help them to be fully equipped for business in the 21st Century!
