SEKHUKHUNE – A cohort of administration officials, Small, Medium and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs) and unemployed youth graduates from Sekhukhune district has headed for the People’s Republic of China to partake in an exciting business exchange programme.

According to Sekhukhune District Municipality (SDM), the delegation, which left on Monday, 9 August, will not only represent the district but the entire Limpopo province in the business exchange initiative.

Lemson Moropjane, SDM spokesperson, said the programme is a result of the partnership between the Local Government Sector Education and Training Authority (LGSETA) and the Chinese Cultural and International Education Exchange Centre (CCIEEC).

Moropjane indicated that the two organizations have laid the foundation for establishing sister-city relationships between South Africa and Chinese cities, aiming to promote cultural exchange, economic trade and mutual understanding between the two nations.

“The exchange programme focuses on enhancing cooperation through skills training related to local government, which will ultimately benefit the municipal officials, unemployed graduates and SMMEs,” explained Moropjane.

He added that the core objectives of this programme include investing in cities and local government, job creation, entrepreneurship, infrastructure, societal and community developments.

SDM Executive Mayor, Minah Bahula, expressed her pride in the delegation, stating, “This is a lifetime opportunity for our SMMEs and unemployed graduates. You are ambassadors of not only Sekhukhune but the entire province. Embrace this journey with open hands and your hearts. The skills, knowledge and networks you gain will contribute towards your personal growth and development of your communities. We believe in your potential to turn this opportunity into tangible benefits for our district and the broader South African society.”

A total of 21 people comprising of seven unemployed graduates, six district’s officials and eight SMMEs will undergo the six-month programme, which marks the beginning of a long-term collaboration between South Africa and China and has the potential to drive socio-economic development in both countries.
