“I wish to congratulate the Narysec programme for releasing you into economic opportunities, all 88 of you gathered here today.

“To our graduates, do not live only for yourselves, you must give back to your communities and the country which have contributed to your development. This is a remarkable achievement as these are the cardinal drivers of our vision.”

The programme director in Gauteng Babalwa Kuseni said, “The main focus of the Narysec programme is to capacitate rural youth so that they become economically active and contribute towards the upliftment of their rural communities. We have signed agreements with different municipalities in the province to absorb our graduates into their workforce.”
