Langa and Litha Matutu
A Journey of Growth and Opportunity
The journey of Langa and Litha Matutu with TVET SA began in 2022, thanks to a meaningful social partnership between TVET SA and the SA Children’s Home/South African Kinderhuis in Cape Town.
The twins were given an opportunity to enroll in a Sewing Learnership for Unemployed Youth, and without hesitation, they seized the chance to build brighter futures.
In Litha’s own words: “You are firstly GIVEN an opportunity, but you have to MAKE the choice to stay committed.”
Turning Challenges into Achievements
With dedicated coaching and mentoring from TVET SA’s theory facilitators, Langa and Litha overcame subjects they had previously struggled with in school. Their practical training broughtout their natural talents and determination.
Langa shared, “I came to TVET SA to learn new skills, and it inspired me to never stop learning.”
