“I’m hoping to learn, and I thank, first of all, our MEC from E-Gov and Telkom for granting us this opportunity. I’m very grateful for the learnership that they will provide us so that we can invest in our communities also.”
“I am positive that we are going to learn a lot from this internship. I trust them because Telkom and E-Gov made this opportunity for us. They decided that they want to go to small communities like ours and give young people chances to get this opportunity.”
