At the Mineworkers Development Agency, we walk alongside communities every day

MINEWORKERS DEVELOPMENT AGENCY
MDA Social Employment Fund Programme participants in Marikana are currently completing a 5-day, CETA-accredited bricklaying training, building practical skills for sustainable employment and community development.
Today is not only about outcomes, but about courage , the courage to try, to persist, and to continue moving forward.
We wish every learner strength, clarity, and confidence as you take your next steps.
We also acknowledge those whose results may not reflect their hopes or hard work. This moment does not define your future or limit your potential. Many meaningful paths remain open, and progress is still possible through perseverance, learning, and support.
Today we honour 43 years of the National Union of Mineworkers, the movement that gave birth to the MDA and continues to shape our purpose.
Thank you for the legacy, the leadership, and the commitment to workers, families, and communities across South Africa and SADC.
