Multimedia centre set to boost IT skills of Ezingolweni community

The community of Ezingolweni in Port Shepstone will now have access to the use of a multimedia centre, giving them access to educational content and learning material to upgrade their computer skills. 

Social Development Deputy Minister, Hendrietta Bogopane-Zulu, in partnership with the MTN SA Foundation, will launch the multimedia centre today in Kwa Nkosi Nzimakwe, Ezingolweni in KwaZulu-Natal. The launch is part of build-up activities to Social Development Month, which is observed in October.

The handover forms part of a longstanding public-private partnership between the department and the MTN SA Foundation. The department said the intention of this initiative is to highlight the urgency and importance of tribal authorities in rural communities. 

In 2018, the Department of Social Development, in partnership with the National House of Traditional Leaders, launched the Rock Leadership Programme, which aims to galvanise traditional leaders in the fight against HIV and Aids, and gender-based violence. 

“The handover of the multimedia centre is the next step in the MTN Foundation’s support of the communities of KwaZulu-Natal at large. 

“The state-of-the-art multimedia centre, with connectivity at MTN’s cost for 24 months, is a 20-seater, with an electronic curriculum and an interactive board,” the department said. 

Social Development Month is celebrated annually to bring social development services closer to the people. This year, the month will be celebrated under the theme: ‘Working together to eradicate poverty and other social ills’. – SAnews.gov.za

  2. Van der Merwe is approached by SANRAL one day who want to build a new highway through his donkey farm. Van is really concerned with how his donkeys can get from one side of the farm to the other without having to cross the highway and risk being injured or killed. He is promised that they will build bridges the highway so that his donkeys can cross under the highway. Van agrees and gives them the go-ahead.

    The highway is built and a year later the same rep goes to the farm to go see how Van and his donkeys are. He eventually finds Van under one of these bridges chipping away at the roof of the tunnel with a hammer and chisel.

    \”Mnr Van de Merwe, what are you doing damaging the highway bridge?\”
