The National Youth Development Agency (Nyda) held a certificate presentation event for a group of unemployed youth at the Kopanong Secondary School in Turffontein, Bloemfontein, on 31 October. Candidates successfully completed basic training in a course on co-operative governance and starting a business. From the left are, front: Serape Scholtz, Pule Moleko and Lindiwe Ntja (all training programme coordinators), certificate recipient Gotsofalo Mpeoa and Tankiso Mabuya (deputy head of the Kopanong Secondary School); back: certificate recipients Palesa Mohlomi, Precious Tomanyane, Karabelo Matlokotsi, Nombulelo Mkhiwane, Kamohelo Choa, Elisa Pie and Gaongalelwe Mojakisane. Given South Africa’s youth unemployment crisis, the programme equipped candidates to venture into the entrepreneurial field. PHOTO: Supplied
