The Zambian mission in South Africa has secured apprenticeship opportunities for five Zambian newly graduate students with a South African-based company.
The five who recently graduated in civil and mechanical engineering from the University of Zambia arrived in Johannesburg yesterday and were met in Pretoria and handed over to the South African company, Ubun2 Group of Companies, by Zambia’s High Commissioner to South Africa, Emmanuel Mwamba.
The five, Alice Munthali, Ricky Siamatu, Enoch Sichone, Wilson Kapungwe and Charles Silungwe, will be attached for a three-month period to Ubun2 Group’s operations situated in Pietermaritzburg and Durban in KwaZulu-Natal.
And Mr. Mwamba described the development as an exciting and momentous occasion for Zambia which came to fruition two months after the idea was mooted in his office.
He commended Ubun2 for responding positively and immediately to the request for the company to contribute towards helping the Zambian Government addresses youth unemployment and skills development.
Mr. Mwamba was speaking at the hand-over of the five nominees to Ubun2 Group of Companies at the Zambian High Commission in Pretoria yesterday.
