Feedback from one of the learners who attended our Career Day.
Sometimes all it takes is hearing the right story at the right time.
We believe that exposing learners to different career journeys helps them see opportunities beyond their current circumstances.

Matric rewrite learners in 2026 shouldn’t spend days at district offices just to register. The current system is outdated and unfair. Let’s make online registration a reality—fast, easy, and fair for everyone. #MatricRewrite#FutureOfEducation
Meet Mluleki Nkululeko Mthethwa, a driven and accomplished Marine Engineer whose journey began at uMfolozi TVET College. With the support and assistance of SAIMI, he secured a position with Oldendorff, a renowned German dry bulk carrier company.
My journey into Engineering began in 2017 at uMfolozi TVET College, Esikhawini Campus, where I pursued Electrical Engineering (Report 191) from N2 to N6 and completed it by 2018. That academic foundation opened the door to a new adventure—Maritime Engineering.
In 2019, I enrolled into the newly launched Maritime Engineering programme at uMfolozi TVET College -Maritime Academy. The curriculum was intense and hands-on, covering pre-sea training and S-modules. These experiences sharpened my technical skills and prepared me for the realities of the maritime industry.
By 2022, I was accepted into the National Seafarer Development Programme (NSDP) where I completed additional pre-sea training and earned my STCW certifications. The NSDP, managed by the South African International Maritime Institute (SAIMI), facilitated my pre-sea training and sea time training.
In 2023, I joined Oldendorff, a German dry bulk carrier company, and spent 14 months at sea aboard two vessels with a multinational crew. I completed my cadetship in 2024 and passed my Oral Examination in August 2025, officially qualifying as a Marine Engineer Class III.
I have also recently been assigned to rejoin Oldendorff as an Engine Officer of the Watch. I’m extremely grateful to uMfolozi College and SAIMI for believing in my potential. I hope my journey inspires others to pursue their dreams—no matter how far they may seem - Mfolozi TVET College

Raised by umagriza, lost my mom in matric, dad passed away second year. Without i-grant kagogo, we wouldn't have eaten anything. NSFAS saved me & covered all my fees at @Rhodes_Uni. Today, I have scholarships + funding for my students & postdoc. In short, stop talking nonsense.
