In 2019, when Gumede’s parents could no longer afford to pay for her maritime industry studies, she was unemployed and frustrated.
Gumede, 29, from Umlazi in Durban, began the programme in August 2020. She saved R500 a month of her R2,950 monthly stipend until December. In January 2021, she was able to start her business. She says she is grateful for the learnership and the stipend. “Without it, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I am not where I want to be, but I’m on the right path. It wasn’t easy. The learnership helped me in a big way. I’m really grateful,” she says.
