This is also aligned to the DCDT vision of SITA reasserting itself as the leader in driving ICT transformation in government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a countrywide project which has seen provinces like Eastern Cape, Northern Cape, Limpopo, KwaZulu-Natal, and North West receiving the Cyber Labs which comes with internet connectivity to the school, robotics training for the learners and laptops with desks and chairs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oaklands High School is the first to receive this donation in the province. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s how you use those tools to enhance your learning abilities, how you use the infrastructure and the skills you have for economic opportunities, and how you use those for social upliftment in your immediate community. So please make use of the opportunities that you now have to learn as much as you can about digital skills and also about the future in this area,\u201d he encouraged learners during the launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"Middle\" id=\"embed_683bdde8\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/12689\/d00cfab3820041b09e622e2c02a63c3e.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/6325315a06bf455092252afdc541cb9a.jpg\" title=\"Learners have already been exposed to basic coding.\"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">Learners have already been exposed to basic coding.<\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/12689\/f5a83824fd2245f8b4636dfbb7a6c2a4.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/00f85b4fd567492987381a4082e47890.jpg\" title=\"Learners entertained visitors with both song and dance items.\"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">Learners entertained visitors with both song and dance items.<\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/12689\/b45e243b736f4f45a13ed37ddcfaa176.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/e09f5579c0af4b1bb79a798c9a48e84f.jpg\" title=\"Deputy Mayor Eddie Andrews.\"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">Deputy Mayor Eddie Andrews.<\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a whole future in digital skills, and you can make good money in that area because that\u2019s where the future of work is and that\u2019s where the future of the economy is. So learn the skills, share them in your communities, but most importantly, your skills are nothing, are meaningless if you don\u2019t use them to uplift other people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deputy Mayor Eddie Andrews says: \u201cToday marks a new chapter in your education journey, one where you will take a step further into the digital world. The launch of this cyber-lab is not just about computers and the internet; it is about getting access to new opportunities, new skills, and a future that is full of possibilities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Malatsi says he hopes the introduction of the cyber lab gives learners the opportunity to see the internet as more than a platform for entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn this day and age, (the internet is) a platform and a major driver for economic activities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Statistics tell us that the majority of South Africans actually use the internet for social media. There is so much more you can do with access to the internet than spending your own time during school break on TikTok and Facebook and Instagram,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Blockquote\" data-pos=\"Middle\" id=\"embed_f4a7be4f\">\n<div class=\"text\">We hope that this will be a foundation for you to start thinking about pursuing careers as a software engineer, as a data specialist, as a cyber security specialist. Because the future of careers is in the digital space.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>School principal Mahir Jeffery says the school had existing computer lab infrastructure, but this has been a welcome upgrade and boost. His hope is that the children will shine using this lab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy wish is that our learners engage and benefit from this Cyber Lab. I am very grateful and honoured to drive this school and open up the doors of digital literacy. We have good kids coming into the school and good kids leaving this school. It is a journey going forward to develop IT skills and digital skills,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Xolani Mbulawa, SITA Regional Coastal head says: \u201cIt\u2019s an honour to participate in the initiative to bridge the digital gap within our country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He says the Cyber Lab is a collaborative effort between different entities and while the donation was given to the school, it is now the responsibility of the school and school community to safeguard and make use of the infrastructure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe need to acknowledge that the world is evolving, and technology is a key driver. And unfortunately, we sought of lagging behind, and it\u2019s important that we need to play catch up. If we look now, every aspect of our lives is run around technology,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>School head boy Masibulele Tembani says this donation will make a lasting impact on their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI encourage every (learner) at our school to use each and every single opportunity presented by the Cyber Lab. Imagine being able to explore difficult concepts through simulations, creating innovative approaches and develop skills in which each can help us in the modern workforce. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis sponsorship represents more than just a donation. It is an investment in our future,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA testament to the belief in our potential as Auckland is creative, current results and responsible citizens. On behalf of the student body, I extend our sincere gratitude to our sponsors. Your commitment to our education will have a lasting impact on our lives and our school\u2019s future. We pledge to make the most of this opportunity using these resources to drive academic excellence, creativity and positive change.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ward 60 councillor, Mark Kleinschmidt says he was contacted by the mayor\u2019s office in January to nominate a school in his area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With continued excellent results, Oaklands was a standout option for him. The school caters to the broader areas including Khayelitsha, Langa, Gugulethu and even as far as Eersteriver. This translates to majority of the learners being from disadvantaged backgrounds. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Cyber Lab launched at Oaklands High School on Wednesday 4
