Backyard Internet Café Becomes Community Skills Hub
Story 2
A backyard internet café that started with donated computers has grown into a thriving skills development centre, creating new opportunities for people in the community.
Prince Tamane started the project after growing up surrounded by poverty and wanting to help others build a better future. What began as a small internet café known as The Backroom has, with support from The Angel Network, grown into the Eyethu Skills Development Centre.
The centre now offers training in occupational health and safety, AI in farming, photography, beauty therapy and other practical skills, while also helping people access information, employment opportunities and the confidence to improve their circumstances.

Innovative Water Recycling Project Launched in Ekurhuleni
Story 3
An innovative water recycling project has been launched at the Manger Care Centre in Ekurhuleni, with the aim of reducing water waste and improving long term water security.
The new facility treats greywater from showers, kitchens and laundry separately from toilet waste, allowing up to 5 000 litres of water a day to be safely reused for irrigation, laundry and toilet flushing. The project is a partnership between the Zurich University of Applied Sciences, Stellenbosch University and the Manger Care Centre.
Researchers hope the low cost system, which uses naturally occurring microorganisms instead of chemicals, can eventually be rolled out to informal settlements and rural communities across South Africa.
