The Academy has made a real difference to the lives of Franschhoek youths giving them the opportunity to pave their own paths. For 22 year-old Mayizukiswe Rongwana, enrolling was a life changing experience. Like many youngsters around him, staying in school was a struggle and he found himself mixing with the wrong crowds, dropping out of education and getting into trouble.
“The Academy is giving us a second chance and opportunity. My biggest dream is to own my own restaurant one day. I am chasing my dreams for a better life, one step at a time and I’m proud of what I have done so far. Thank you to the Franschhoek Hospitality Academy for believing in me and helping me believe in myself,” says Mayizukiswe.
All proceeds will go towards uplifting local, historically disadvantaged youths by providing them with the necessary hospitality skills and training to gain employment within the thriving tourism industry.
