Five lucky local youngsters have each received an all-expenses-paid scholarship this year, valued at over R170 000 each, from the Southern Highveld Community Development Trust (SHCDT), a CSI initiative of Graceland Hotel Casino & Country Club, to follow their dreams of obtaining tertiary education. Here the lucky recipients, in the front, Angel Phakathi, middle, Asakhanya Maseti, Ellen Maseko, Philisiwe Mayaba and at the back, Nhlakanipho Mngomezulu (middle) celebrate this wonderful opportunity with Peermont Human Resources Executive, Fihliwe Molefi (middle right) and two SHCDT Alumni, Mishael Mashele (back left) and Mike Sibeko (back right) at an induction function at Emperors Palace recently. Successful businessmen, Mashele and Sibeko, who attribute much of their success to the opportunities that arose because of the SHCDT scholarships they received, were involved in the selection of the new bursary recipients.
