Vision

The MultiChoice SA Fort Hare Inkwenkwezi Trust is recognised by all stakeholders as an entity that makes a measurable contribution to excellence in high school education in the Eastern Cape.

Mission

Through an effective mentorship programme for grade 11 and 12 learners, we contribute to the holistic development of the participating learners and students. Our programme enables grade 12 learners to deal effectively with post-matric challenges. It enables them to make a constructive contribution to the South African economy and society at large.


Programme highlights

Launched at the beginning of 2007, it has already successfully completed its first year, after which:

  • A total of 15 schools participated, of which 12 schools achieved a 100% success rate and were issued with certificates of entitlement to empowerment shares in excess of R600 000.
  • A total of 80 mentors were issued with certificates of entitlement to empowerment shares amounting to R800 000.
  • This will entitle participating schools and students (as mentors) to shares of about R1 400 000 in total for the period 2007.
  • 12 schools, 120 learners and 78 student mentors are participating in the 2008/9 programme.

 

 Inspirational Interviews

One of the aims of this website is to inspire young people. Every second month we will inform you about someone who has inspired us. In these interviews you will learn more about the road they had to take to get to where they are today, which choices they had to make and advice they could give about the industry they are in.

For our first profile, we approached the editor of the Hillside Times to reveal some of his secrets.  

Neville Meintjies, editor of the Hillside Times in the very popular 7de Laan, believes in unleashing potential. He says that he is very happy with what he does because he uses his God-given gifts and talents. Therefore he believes that young people should know that they themselves are commodities in the new economy, and they should therefore learn how to use their gifts and talents to create work for them.
