Ukuqobisana nentswela-ngqesho kunye nentlupheko, i-Astron Energy Development Fund (AEDF) kunye neSilulo Foundation ziye zadibana ukuze zinike ulutsha olungaphangeliyo oluyi-600 inyathelo elingqongqo leenyanga ezintandathu loqeqesho lwedijithali, kwaye likwaxhasa oosomashishini abangama-240 abatsala nzima ngoqeqesho olukhethekileyo, iingcebiso ezijolisekileyo, kunye nemfuneko eyimfuneko.
Yasungulwa ngolwesiThathu umhla wama-21 ku-Agasti, iziko loshishino nekhondo lokuhamba ngaphaya kwendlela ukusuka kwirenki yeeteksi zaseDunoon laphehlelelwa ngomhla wama-21 kweyeThupha njengesixhobo esifuneka kakhulu solunye loluntu lwaseKapa olunabemi abaninzi kakhulu nolucinezelekileyo ngokwezoqoqosho.
Ixhaswa lutyalo-mali lwe-AEDF yezigidi ezingama-R220, eli ziko lingaphezulu nje kwendawo yoqeqesho lwezakhono zedijithali – lisebenza njengeqonga elibalulekileyo lokukhulisa ushishino nokukhuthaza ukuzimela kwezoqoqosho kuluntu olushiywe ngasemva yinguqu yedijithali ngenxa yedatha ephezulu. iindleko kunye nokufikelela okulinganiselweyo kwizixhobo eziqhagamshelwe kwi-intanethi.
Kumsitho wokuphehlelelwa kweli ziko litsha, umseki weSilulo Foundation nokwangusomashishini waselokishini uLuvuyo Rani, noyintloko yeAEDF uDebbie Parker uthethe ngefuthe lamaphulo asuka ezantsi. “Asigqithisi nje izixhobo. Sidala indawo apho izimvo zinokukhula, ubambiswano luqhube kakuhle, kunye nekamva linokubunjwa,” utshilo uRani.
URani uthe unombulelo ongazenzisiyo ngeziko loshishino namakhondo eDunoon, esithi yinto efunekayo eMzantsi Afrika.
Uthe eli ziko lizakubonelela ngeqonga elibalulekileyo koosomashishini ukuze baphuhlise izakhono zabo nokwandisa amashishini abo. “UDonoon ugcwele amandla, kwaye kufuneka sivule elo thuba ngeendlela ezintsha kunye neendlela ezintsha zokwenza izinto,” utshilo.
Uthe isiseko ngoku siqhuba udliwano-ndlebe, kunye neqela lokuqala eliza kuqalisa kwiveki yokuqala kaSeptemba.
Abafundi baya kufumana izakhono ezisisiseko kubukrelekrele bokwenziwa, ukufunda ngekhompyuter, ukhuseleko lwe-cybersecurity, kunye nokulungela umsebenzi.
Uthi, iSilulo Ulutho Technologies, eneendawo ezithengisa kwiilokishi zeNtshona Koloni, iMpuma Koloni, naKwaZulu-Natal, yaseka indawo yayo kwiminyaka elishumi elinesine edlulileyo kwirenki yeeteksi eDunoon – esiyenye yeendawo zayo zokuqala – kwaye sele ibonelela ngeintanethi ehlawulelwa umrhumo.
ukufikelela, ukudrafta i-CV kunye nokushicilela, iinkonzo ze-imeyile, kunye nezifundo zekhompyutha. Ukanti iSilulo Foundation isebenza ngokwahlukileyo kwiSilulo Ulutho Technologies.
UMaxell Miselo ongumnini weshishini iSilulo Ulutho Technologies eDunoon naseWitsand, uthe ulutsha olubhalise kule siseko noosomashishini abazukujongana neentlawulo, ngoncedo lwenkxaso yeAEDF.
“Isiseko sibuyisela eluntwini; zonke iinkonzo zifumaneka ngaphandle kweendleko,” utshilo uMiselo.
“IDunoon ijongene nentlupheko emandla xa ithelekisa nezinye iindawo esizisebenzelayo, uninzi lwabafundi abangakwaziyo ukuhlawula imali yesikolo kwisebe iSilulo Ulutho Technologies Dunoon,” utshilo uMiseko.
Ukubandakanyeka kwe-Astron Energy kubonisa ithuba elibalulekileyo. Sinothakazelelo malunga nophuhliso olunokwenzeka eDunoon kwaye sinethemba lokuba eli nyathelo liza kuguqula iimeko zangoku,” utshilo.
Umhlali waseDunoon uLisakhanya Mafungwe, 18, ngomnye wolutsha olungaphangeliyo oluyi-600 oluza kuxhamla kwintsebenziswano phakathi kweAstron Energy Development Fund (AEDF) kunye neSilulo Foundation.
Kwintetho yakhe kumsitho wosungulo, uMafungwe uthi uphumelele ibanga lakhe leshumi eInkwenkwezi Secondary School ngo2023 ephumelele isidanga.
Nangona wayenqwenela ukwenza izifundo zobutitshala eCape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT), akazange ayifumane indawo yokufunda kunyaka ka-2024 kwaye wayenolwazi oluncinane ngezinye iiyunivesithi.
Njengoko eli ziko litsha lokuvula ishishini namakhondo livuliwe ngoku, uMafungwe uthe uzimisele ukuqalisa izifundo zeenyanga ezintandathu zolwazi lokufunda nokubhala ngedijithali ezibonelelwa ngobu buhlakani. “Indenza ndizive ngcono. Ndibona ngathi kususwe ilifu elimnyama phezu kwam,” utshilo uMafungwe. Uceba weWadi yaseDunoon uMessie Makuwa uthe uchukunyiswe kukunyakazela kweziko loqeqesho, eqaphela amagumbi okufundela axhotyiswe ngokwaneleyo aneekhompyutha.
“Abantu baya kufumana impumelelo kwiinzame zabo zoshishino. Kukho imfuneko ebalulekileyo yezi nkonzo. Njengoceba wewadi enesiqalo esithobekileyo, ndiyazingca ngeDunoon nenkqubela phambili yayo,” utshilo uMakuwa.
Uthe i-Astron Energy yenze igalelo elikhulu eDunoon, ngenkxaso yomcoci inceda abahlali ukuba babonelele ngcono iintsapho zabo. Usekela sihlalo weSouth African National Civic Organisation SANCO) kwisebe laseDunoon uLundi ‘MaOrange’ Wulana uthe eli ziko lizakusebenza njengesibane sethemba kubahlali basekuhlaleni nakwimimandla ekufutshane.
“Sinolutsha oluninzi oluzimiseleyo noluzimiseleyo kodwa oluswele izixhobo notyalo-mali loqeqesho nophuhliso lwezakhono. Eli ziko lizakufaka isandla kakhulu ekuxhobiseni abantu baseDunoon nakwimimandla eyingqongileyo,” utshilo uWulana.
Umanejala wemicimbi yenkampani yakwa-Astron Energy uDonna Fata uthe ubudlelwane benkampani bexesha elide kunye neDunoon buphawulwe ngentsebenziswano neenkokeli zoluntu ukujongana neemfuno ezicinezelayo zophuhliso lwezakhono.
UFata ubulele iinkokeli ngendima yazo ebalulekileyo ekwenzeni le projekthi ibe yinyani.
Uthe eli ziko litsha lijolise ekukhuthazeni nasekudibaniseni abahlali, libonisa ukuzibophelela kwenkampani yakhe kunxibelelwano noluntu kunye nokusekuhleni.
“Esi sibonelelo silapha ukuze sisebenze njengesixhobo, ukukukhuthaza kwaye sikuncede uqhagamshelane nabanye ngeendlela ezinentsingiselo. Siyathemba ukuba umntu ngamnye kuni uzakufumana into apha ephucula ubomi benu kwaye yomeleze umoya wenu wokuba ngowabanye abantu,” utshilo uFata.
UParker uthe i-AEDF izibophelele ekuqhubeni inguqu ezinzileyo, ebonakalayo kunye nempumelelo kumashishini amancinci angaphakathi kwikhonkco lexabiso leAstron Energy kunye noluntu olungqongileyo.
