The Zanokhanyo Network " bringing light'

The Zanokhanyo Network is a non-profit organisation that offer a transformational Job Readiness journey that serves as a bridge to opportunity by restoring dignity and hope, equipping people to realise their potential and connecting graduates to employment networks. It started when Zanokhanyo and Common Good joined forces in 2015 to form the Zanokhanyo Network.

Kasuba Stuurman who is the Zanokhanyo's Communication Officer came to talk to us about their organisation.

South Africa is one of the countries with the highest rate of unemployment so finding a job can be a job by itself. The Zanokhanyo Network was created to help unemployed people without any discrimination through its Job Readiness course.

The Organisation has grown with time, not only do they have Job Readiness course's, they have now courses such as computer, hospitality and financial literacy that teaches people how to manage their money.

According to a statistic made in 2018, 840 students who followed Job Readiness courses, 704 are employed now and 75% keep their jobs more than a month.

They are still facing some challenges. Not enough resources to host the growing number of students, lack of communication with their graduate students, difficulty to get a job for foreign students, many business industries are not willing to pass through them to hire people.

Why people don't have employment?

"For many reasons people don't have a job, broken family, an education that failed the individual, self-entitlement... and to remedy to the situation the Government and the non-government organisations must work in close collaboration in order to educate and support the unemployed people" said Kasuba.

A Job Readiness course will start on Tuesday 19 February 2019 and the fee is R100.
