When Ayanda Zulu could not find a job, she started her business Wenzokuhle Holdings in order to pursue a business venture in farming. 

Based in KwaNongoma in the Zululand district, Zulu started by growing beans and later ventured into livestock farming.

She expanded her business to include livestock farming in 2022 after moving to eShowe.

Wenzokuhle Holdings commenced its operations in 2013 but was formerly registered in 2019, specialising in crop and animal production.

South Africa recently encountered cases of cholera in Gauteng, and the Department of Health pleads with members of the public to take precautionary measures to prevent the spread of the disease.

Cholera is an acute enteric infection caused by the bacteria Vibrio cholera, and outbreaks usually occur in settings with inadequate sanitation and insufficient access to safe drinking water.

Umalusi has awarded accreditation certificates to deserving private education institutions in recognition of their compliance to its rigid accreditation standards.

In line with its legislative mandate as the Council for Quality Assurance in General and Further Education and Training, Umalusi hosted an Accreditation Forum and Certificate Presentation ceremony to award accreditation certificates to institutions that met accreditation criteria to offer the qualifications that are registered on the General and Further Education and Training Qualifications Sub[1]Framework.

From The Union Buildings

Since I announced changes to Cabinet recently, there has been much discussion about the size of the executive. This is an important discussion and I welcome it. But much of the commentary misses the point.

The discussion has unfortunately been reduced to a head counting exercise. It is argued by some that any decrease in the number of Ministers is good and any increase is bad.

Resilience, self-belief, and the determination to never give up are the ingredients needed to enter the highly competitive construction industry.

This is according to Phiwokuhle Manana (25), who owns a construction, transportation and plant hire business called Morning Rise, in Mpumalanga.

He says his passion for the industry started after he matriculated and managed to get a job as a construction worker.

“I was a supervisor for the plant so I ended up liking this industry. I also saw this as an opportunity to open my own business,” he said.

Dear Ann-Marie

Sebokeng residents will enjoy improved access to free health care services as the brand-new building for Zone 17 clinic in Sebokeng in Gauteng has been completed.

It comes with better services that residents could not experience in the old building that was small with limited services on offer.
