Trade Union Solidarity says the realization of its Sol-Tech Occupational Training College campus in Gauteng is proof of the power when a community comes together “to make something big happen.”
Funded entirely by community investments, the campus is part of a R300 million project which consists of the education campus and a student residential complex, development of which is currently underway.
The college does not receive any government subsidies or corporate donations, said Solidarity chair Flip Buys.
Solidarity chief executive Dirk Hermann said the “only way we can ensure a future is to build it ourselves.”
“In less than two years and a million bricks later we will have a campus here where young people will be equipped to stay in South Africa and to be free, safe and prosperous here.”
