MBABANE – Scara Thindwa Foundation has spread its wings to partner with
Limkokwing University of Creative Technology.
The foundation, which nurtures the country’s young soccer talent, signed a
Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Sidwashini-based institution of
higher learning yesterday. The partnership will see the rebranding of the
foundation and designing of a new logo , among other benefits.
The university is known for technological advancement.
Campus Director Tfobile Gumede highlighted that sharing the same vision of
empowering young people with the foundation prompted them to come on board.
“As an institution we’re grooming entrepreneurs not jobseekers.
“We would like to thank the foundation for investing experience and resources
on the young people. We’re looking beyond the MoU as we also want to bring the
foundation’s associates on board,” she said.
Celebrated
Celebrated soccer legend, Absalom ‘Scara’ Thindwa, shared the foundation’s
goals while celebrating the partnership. He shared that their initial goal was
to start an academy but were restricted by funds, but assured that they were not
derailed in their pursuit of grooming youngsters. One of their products in
Lungelo Simelane was now attached to South Africa’s ‘Amatuks’ (University
of Pretoria).
“We thank Limkokwing for opening doors to us and through their creativity we
can do many things together,” he said.
During yesterday’s festivities, the institution got to share with its guests a
video of graduation ceremonies across the globe. There are Limkokwing campuses
in Botswana, Lesotho, Sierra Leone, among countries. There are also campuses in
Europe and Asia.
