KwaDukuza mayor surprised by businessman’s R1.9m bursary offer
Bursary offer is open to all wards in the KwaDukuza district.
Every day the mayor of KwaDukuza receives numerous emails and letters from the public that he “makes a point to go through on a daily basis”, but on Wednesday he received something so extraordinary that he notified the media.
The chief executive officer of SAFEPRO, a local training institution which specializes in occupational health and safety systems, wrote to mayor Ricardo Mthembu pledging to provide R 1.9 million to provide bursaries for 100 people over the next three years.
In his letter Richard Ponnadu said they would “consider it a privilege and believe that it is our responsibility to educate and train the people of our community“.
“The bursary is open to all the wards in our district, and comprises a comprehensive safety, health, environment and risk management course.”
