Skills training plays vital role

THE Zikulise Community Upliftment Project’s Entrepreneur Skills Training Centre based in Empangeni has given 13 privileged individuals the opportunity to participate in a 15-day ceramic development and business skills course.

These include five members from the Nawe Zifunze Disabled Association.

Zelda Warren, a potter from Empangeni is facilitating the ceramic training and is providing the trainees with the basic skills, encouraging each individual to explore their own creativity.

‘The training is great and I will do my best to teach others what I have learnt,’ said trainee Nqobile Msweli, who sells apples, biscuits and chips every day to pay for her transport to the centre.

‘I don’t want to miss a day, I’m benefitting so much.’
