Two Unisa students have won the 2026 SAICA Student Leadership Awards for their skills-training initiative, Ukuzithanda & Co, in Mamelodi.
Precious Nkosi and Lehlohonolo Nonyane train people in beauty skills such as hair and nail services, giving them skills they can use to earn an income.
The initiative has trained about eight people so far, and the students will use their prize money to expand the training centre from one table to four.
They also plan to add more courses and develop an online platform to reach people beyond Mamelodi.
