Department of Higher Education and Training partners with Services SETA to launch Community College infrastructure upgrade project
The Deputy Minister for Higher Education and Training, Dr Mimmy Gondwe, will visit the KwaZulu-Natal CET College at the Mlandeleni Community Learning Centre (CLC) in Ndwedwe on Monday 4 May 2026.
The visit will officially launch a R4 million renovation and infrastructure upgrade project at the Centre, in partnership with the Services SETA. The project is part of the Department of Higher Education and Training’s (DHET) ongoing efforts to support infrastructure and curriculum development at CET colleges nationwide.
Mlandeleni CLC has over 1,000 students enrolled, offers various adult learning qualifications, and serves as a “second chance” learning centre for out-of-school youth.
The project launch also includes support from several other SETAs, the National Student Financial Aid Scheme, the National Skills Fund, and business stakeholders, who will provide learners with information on training programmes, career guidance, and study funding opportunities in the higher education and training sector.
