Deputy Minister Mimmy Gondwe helped Elangeni TVET College pull in over a million rand at their fundraising gala at the Premier Hotel in Umhlanga near Durban. The event drew 150 people from businesses and education who kicked in cash through pledges, sponsorships, donations and auction bids. Gondwe gave the keynote speech and moderated a panel about partnerships between public institutions and private companies while the whole thing ran under a theme about innovation driving economic growth.

The college scored R1 075 400 total, which goes toward fixing up facilities, buying equipment and running programs that teach practical job skills. Principal TJ Kula thanked Gondwe for showing up and connecting industries with schools. This marks the second college Gondwe helped raise money for after she assisted Goldfields TVET College in the Free State back in August, where they raised nearly R300 000. The pushes come as South Africa deals with youth unemployment and skills shortages across major industries.
