Empowering Pondoland with skills that build economies. 🌍💡

Recently, the VUT CoLab, alongside iUniversity Walter Sisulu CoLab and NEMISA, celebrated the graduation of 30 individuals from our Cellphone Repairs program in Lusikisiki.

The VUT E-Skills CoLab was honoured to attend the Smart Device Handover & Digital Skills Support Programme at the Midvaal Skills Development Centre.

The handover was officially conducted by the Honourable Minister of the Department of Communications and Digital Technologies, Hon. Solly Malatsi, together with the Executive Mayor of Midvaal Municipality, Hon. Alderman Peter Teixeira. This initiative marks a significant milestone in advancing digital inclusion and empowering communities through access to smart technology.

We are encouraged by the commitment from the CEO of the National Electronic Media Institute of South Africa (NEMISA) to continue providing digital skills training through its CoLab programme, in partnership with the Vaal University of Technology E-Skills CoLab.

A device without a skill is just hardware.
A skill without a device is just potential.
We bring them together.

Together, we remain committed to equipping communities with the skills needed to thrive in the digital age.
