Sewing project launched in Tembisa
The project recognises the importance of the township economy and the vast opportunities that it presents.
The Siyathunga Elokshini sewing project was launched at the Royal House International Church on August 20.
Rauche Harvest Kingdom, Berzacks and Royal House International Church officially launched one of the largest sewing projects at Entshonalanga Section in Tembisa.
Pastor Thami Dlalisa said these organisation’s common purpose and strategic vision drew them together to uplift the community through the project.
Berzacks has divisions offering homeware products and industrial sewing products, while Rauche Harvest Kingdom offers a broad range of sewing related courses from level 1 to 4.
Royal House International Church is the official convener and host of the community sewing hub and is located next to the Ekurhuleni FET College in Entshonalanga Section, Tembisa.
The project recognises the importance of the township economy and the vast opportunities that it presents.
“The township economy has not been adequately exploited to create the correct number of jobs in our townships across the country,” said Mr Robert Ritson.
“This project will help our youth, our mothers and fathers to put food on the table,” said the Lead Pastor of Royal House International Church Pastor Thami Dlalisa.
“Money and skills development must be allowed to circulate in our own community through projects like this. We also encouraged communities to participate in the competition. Alfred Moshweshwe, Masabata Manyathela, Kamogelo and Thabo Mocwiri were winners of the day’s competition,” said Pastor Masechaba Mashao.
“Berzacks has officially sponsored the sewing hub with one, six metre long shipping container which is fitted with electricity plug connections in addition to industrial sewing machines.
“Rauche will run the training and the church is the official host of the project,” said Pastor Mashao.
“The project was launched during August which is Women’s Month. Men are also part of the project and are encouraged to register.”
