POLOKWANE – The Limpopo School of Etiquette, founded early last year by Dr Mandy Sigauke, aims to teach children essential social and professional interaction skills.
Sigauke identified a gap in the market because of parents’ busy schedules, which often leave little time to impart necessary etiquette and life skills.
“We noticed that parents are experiencing such busy schedules and sometimes do not have the opportunity to teach their children the necessary etiquette and life skills. The desire of every parent is that their child grows to become a well-rounded, respectful individual and one who will superbly perform in any environment,” she explained.
The school bridges this gap, equipping children with the skills they need to excel.
Sigauke emphasised the importance of etiquette for adults, particularly in the corporate world.
“Therefore, we also assist adults in expanding their social skills, including demonstrating proper table etiquette at business luncheons, dinners, gatherings, and seminar meetings to name a few,” she added.
With eight branches and 10 facilitators across the province, the school aims to expand its reach both provincially and nationally by the end of the year.
One of the challenges in establishing the school was convincing parents of the importance of etiquette training for their children’s future.
The feedback from companies, schools, and families has been overwhelmingly positive. Parents have reported noticeable improvements in their children’s behaviour and educational performance.
