“With staggering youth unemployment levels, the Shoprite Group’s bursary programme gives highly motivated and ambitious students the best possible start to their careers,” said Lungile Koti, senior early careers talent specialist.

“We are looking to invest in youth that wants to grow and develop into the future leaders of our industry.”

Bursaries are available in the following fields of study and it is important to note that applicants should be in their particular year of study at the time of their application.
