Mpumalanga students receive R30m in bursaries
Sixty students from Mpumalanga have received bursaries worth R30 million to cover tuition, accommodation costs, books and a living stipend from GE's Steam Power, in collaboration with Eskom. Eskom, on their part, has donated laptops to each of the bursary recipients.
The 60 students who are from Ehlanzeni, Gert Sibande and Nkangala district respectively, will study at more than 10 higher learning institutions across the country.
“The future of the African continent is reliant on skills especially in science, technology, engineering and mathematics and these bursaries will ensure great progression of empowering the youth of Mpumalanga,” said Nthabiseng Kubheka, GE Steam Power Project Director at Kusile Power Plant. “This initiative is one of many programs that GE’s Steam Power business is implementing to empower the youth with skills especially in communities where we work.”
GE Power’s Steam Power business and the South African government, through the Accelerated and Shared Growth Initiative South Africa (Asgi SA), have collaborated to establish a graduate development programme with 155 trainees in various fields of engineering in both Kusile and Medupi Projects and was awarded the Best Training Programme (Large Company) at the recently held Skills Development Summit in Johannesburg.
