From lecture halls to industry halls.

Congratulations to Mandlenkosi and Mancha, winners of our student competition, who will be joining us at The Junior Indaba 2026 tomorrow.

This is an opportunity to step beyond the textbook and see how knowledge is applied in real-world industry settings.

We’re excited to see them gain firsthand exposure to the industry and make the most of this experience.
