The founder of Kasi Fundi, Thandeka Thusi is inviting learners to be part of their Saturday school and workshops programme aimed at giving career guidance and study skills to local learners.
The programme which takes place at the comfort of Thusi’s home in Orlando East and already has over 40 learners attending the school books cover drive which saw learners have their school books covered and also receive free stationary.

Our recent book drive has assisted learners around Orlando East and we were able to reach more learners this year as compared to the previous years. This highlights the growing need to help learners start their academic year on a high note,” Thusi said.
Thusi who is also an English teacher at St David’s Marist Inanda Boys Secondary School in Sandton noted the importance of learners receiving assistance in their academics earlier in the year.
“It is really important to start as early as possible. If there is one thing that learners are likely to do wrong is waiting until the last minute to take their academics and education serious.
“Ours is to offer support to learners who are currently enrolled with us, ensure that they yield great results by the end of the year and are able to find the correct career path aligned to their passion and talents.
