Inter-Departmental Career Choice Expo Day 2026 in Mpumalanga - Part 4.

Mr. Anele Noziweni, Senior Specialist of the MTN Foundation, discusses how the foundation partners with schools to drive digital inclusion, specifically reaching learners in remote rural areas like Daggakraal where connectivity is often limited. He highlights the MTN Foundation's flagship 'Connecting Every Child' initiative, which has delivered 30,000 digital devices and built 400+ multimedia and ICT learning centres in rural and township schools, providing vital STEM learning environments and teacher training where infrastructure is lacking. Mr. Anele unpacks key programmes supporting learners, including scholarships for high-achieving students (with special focus on girls and blind learners) and the MTN Online School, a free portal with curriculum-aligned content from Grade R to 12. He explains how learners can access the MTN Skills Academy for free, unlimited digital skills training in high-demand technology and business courses via a simple sign-up process, operating on rolling enrollment with no CGPA requirements. Tune in to learn how the MTN Foundation is bridging the digital divide and empowering rural youth with the tools and skills they need to thrive in the digital economy!
