Certificates awarded to graduates
Certificates were awarded to those students who have completed their course in computer and first aid training.
The South African Taxi’s executive director of corporate affairs, Mr Bonisile Makhubo, said the country needs skilled people to enable SA to deal with the multifaceted problems facing the society.
Mr Makhubo was speaking at the Greater Midrand Development Centre’s (GMDC) graduation ceremony, which was held at the Rabie Ridge Community Hall on Friday last week.
The MMC for Public Safety in the City of Joburg, Clr Sello Lemao, local councillors, Emergency Management Services (EMS) representatives and parents attended the event.
Certificates were awarded to those students who have completed their course in computer and first aid training.
The chairperson of the board at the GMDC, Clr Eunice Mgcina, said the centre aims to alleviate poverty and provide skills to people.
Clr Mgcina said the centre services people in the greater Midrand area, which covers Kaalfontein, Ebony Park, Rabie Ridge, Kanana and Midrand.
“Our biggest challenge is that the students drop out. Students fail to complete their course after they have been registered. We need strategic partners like SA Taxi, which sponsored the catering to this event,” said Clr Mgcina.
She appealed to the community and business people for support.
King Don, a self-taught guitarist, performed some of Tracy Chapman’s songs to the delighted crowd, who also asked for an encore.
