As its bakery and organic food garden prioritise quality, these skilled women craft and nurture a brighter future for South Africa.

Siyabonga Africa believes investing in people’s skills and knowledge is paramount to creating a brighter future. By equipping individuals with the tools they need, they can break the cycle of poverty and unlock a world of opportunities.
A critical component of Siyabonga Africa’s programmes is the generosity of its partners and sponsors. Hytec South Africa, a Level 2 B-BBEE company, donates funds, which enables them to cover the costs of the courses.
In addition, East Rand Containers and Construction Equipment Manufacturers provided internship opportunities to the participants, which allowed them to gain work experience.
