He said the aim is to assist the young people to be able to generate money on their own.

It is a three-month training course. We started it late last year and the first group will be graduating next month. It is not about riding a bicycle only. We have some classes where we teach them about rules of the road, customer service, being an entrepreneur and learning how to ride an e-bike etc,\u201d he said, adding that once they qualify and ready to start a career Green Rider provides an electric bicycle for mobility and delivery for various customers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He stated that there is no specific qualification needed. He praised the community for being supportive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Councillor Suzanne Zumana described the campaign as part of skills development. She said more than 300 unemployed young people are taking part in the programme. \u201cWe believe that the training will help a lot of them. Maybe some of them will be able to start their businesses. We are trying to empower them to be independent,\u201d said Zumana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the trainees Okuhle Gakrishe (25) from B said the training came at the right time. She said she heard about the campaign on social media. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cInstead of sitting at home doing nothing, I decided to join it. We learn a lot here. It is not about riding bicycles we also study,\u201d she said and urged her peers not to look down on these kinds of programmes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hundreds of young
