UNkanyiso Erasmus Mtshali, ofundela ukuba ngunjiniyela kagesi

Electrical engineering learner ready to take next step

Nkanyiso Erasmus Mtshali is excited about the prospects that lie ahead after he completes his electrical engineering in-service training at ZAC. By the end of July 2024, Nkanyiso will be eligible to attend training at The Colliery Training College (CTC) where he will also write a trade exam. After passing Grade 12 Nkanyiso acquired N4 and N6 level qualifications in electrical engineering at Mnambithi TVET college.

He proceeded to do his electrical in-service training at the Alfred Duma Municipality before getting an opportunity at ZAC. Nkanyiso says he has gained important skills since joining ZAC. “I have learned to connect different types of motors and to connect the panel that connects the belt,” he says. Nkanyiso has also gotten used to working underground. “At first, I didn’t like to go underground but as time passed, I started enjoying it,” he remarks.

Umfundi wobunjiniyela bukagesi umi ngomumo ukunyakaza

UNkanyiso Erasmus Mtshali uthakasile ngamathuba amlindile ngemva kokuphothula ukuthwasela umsebenzi wobunjiniyela bukagesi e-ZAC. Ngasekupheleni kukaNtulikazi wango-2024, uNkanyiso uzokwazi ukuyoqeqeshwa e-Colliery Training College (e-CTC), lapho ezobhala khona izifundo zokuhlolelwa umsebenzi wamakhono. Ngemva kokuphasa iBanga 12, uNkanyiso wathola u-N4 no-N6 wobunjiniyela bukagesi eMnambithi TVET College.

Ngemva kwalokho waqhubeka wayoqeqeshelwa ukwenza ugesi e-Alfred Duma Municipality ngaphambi kokuthola ithuba e-ZAC. UNkanyiso uthi usethole amakhono abalulekile kusukela efikile e-ZAC. “Sengifunde ukuhlanganisa izinhlobo ezihlukene zezinjini nokuxhuma indawo okuxhuma ibhande kuyona,” kusho yena. UNkanyiso usekwazi nokusebenza ngaphansi komhlaba. “Ekuqaleni ngangingakuthandi ukusebenza ngaphansi komhlaba kodwa ngokuqhubeka kwesikhathi sekumnandi,” kuphawula yena.
