gained real business analysis skills-like solving problems, engaging
stakeholders, and communicating clearly.

I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to inspiring individuals like Phumzile Sikhakhane and Karabo Matsepe, whose guidance shaped not only my professional conduct but also taught me how to carry myself with confidence and integrity. I've always had the desire to shine, and thanks to the MTA, I was given the platform to do just that. This experience unlocked my potential, strengthened my character, and helped me become someone I truly admire and respect."

I’ve learned how to communicate better, manage my time, and work with other things I used to struggle with. It’s also changed how I see myself; I’m more confident now and I believe I can achieve more than I thought before. My journey with MTA during the learnership has been truly life changing. I’ve grown so much, both personally and professionally. Before joining, I struggled with self-confidence and wasn’t sure about my future. But through the support, mentorship, and training I received from facilitator I’ve become more focused, disciplined, and confident in my abilities. The programme has helped me see my worth and potential, and it’s also brought positive changes at home, where I’m now more responsible and hopeful."
