Students awarded bursaries
Elias Motsoaledi Local Municipality, MaxProf and EST-Sourcing has supported four young people through bursaries for higher learning.
The relationship between Elias Motsoaledi Local Municipality and corporate partners MaxProf and EST-Sourcing has supported four young people through bursaries to study at institutions of higher learning this year.
Primrose Mobbie, studying for a diploma in Grade R teaching, Dimakatso Sereku, studying for a postgraduate diploma in Public Development, Karabo Tshehla, studying for an advanced diploma in Technical and Vocational Education, and Bridget Mokwana, studying for a Bachelor of Education, were awarded the bursaries on January 26.
Simon Makua, municipal spokesperson, indicated that the awarding of the bursaries to the local students marked the progressive partnership’s second consecutive year.
On behalf of the beneficiaries, Tshehla said, “The bursary has relieved a huge financial burden on my family and allowed me to focus fully on my studies. We are truly grateful to MaxProf, EST-Sourcing, and the municipality for believing in our potential and investing in our future.”
Beyond the financial support, the partners also secure placements of the benefitting students at tertiary institutions, reflecting their dedication to sustainable skills development and long-term empowerment.
Mayor David Tladi lauded the initiative and encouraged other corporate entities to support similar educational development programmes.
The mayor highlighted that the support reinforces the important collaborative initiatives between the private sector and local government in creating opportunities for South Africa’s youth.
Through continued investment in education, the municipality, MaxProf and EST-Sourcing are not only supporting individual students but also contributing to the development of skilled and empowered young leaders who will drive positive change in their communities.
