[Randburg, Johannesburg-18 July 2018] TETA spent 67 minutes at Blue Eagle High School in Cosmo City in celebration of Mandela Day.
The 67 minutes was spent in information sharing sessions that exposed 350 grade 11 and 12 learners to transport-related careers. Other activities included tending and cultivating the school garden and demonstrating the process of completing the TETA bursary application forms to avoid disqualification.
“This year’s Nelson Mandela Day activities were even more exciting. We opted for an initiative that is close to our hearts – exposing previously disadvantaged groups to unique career opportunities within the transport sector. Through this event, we were also joining the government’s Nelson Mandela centenary celebrations, said Acting Corporate Service Manager of TETA, Sabelo Mbuku.
“On behalf of Blue Eagles High School, we would like to thank [TETA] for kindly offering … 67 minutes of Mandela Day to us. We truly appreciate it and hope that [TETA’s] generosity will not end today …”, said Mr Ndlala, Principal of Blue Eagle High School.
