EWC Principal's Year-end Speech 2011
December 2011 Members of Council present, Management, ladies and gentlemen - a very good afternoon. Thanks for honouring the invitation and giving us the opportunity to say to you "goodbye and thank you". I hope this is not a connotation of the last supper - we are here to "kiss and say goodbye." A kiss is something that is the seal of approval. You guys always felt that getting the first kiss from a young lady was the start of something great. A kiss is usually how you greet your beloved ones. It is how you say good night to your children - with a hope of seeing them the following day. Learn to love, leave and live your life as God intended. That is the reason we are here this afternoon to "kiss and say goodbye". Over my life I have learned a few things - I decide to be happy and the rest is a matter of circumstances. Happiness will always be found in forgiveness and loving yourself and others. It is nobody's responsibility to make me happy. Ladies and gentlemen I am happy to be the torch bearer of EWC without reservations. EWC Diploma Ceremony 201113 May 2011

Signing CeremonyCooperation Agreement Between South African Airways Technical (SAAT) And Ekurhukeni West College (EWC) 30 June 2011 The Principal and CEO of Ekurhuleni West College, Me Manakedi Hellen Ntlatleng, and the CEO of SAAT, Mr Musa Zwane, signed a Cooperation Agreement between Ekurhuleni West College (EWC) and South African Airways Technical (SAAT). The signing ceremony was held on Thursday 30 June 2011, between 07h00 and 08h30, at the SAAT Training Centre. The significance of the cooperation, other than forming a partnership, is how the two entities interpreted the imperatives of the National Skills Development Strategy III and the New Growth Path of our country. This partnership between SAAT and EWC represents a firm commitment to encourage the links of skills development to career pathing, career development and promoting sustainable employment and job placements. Through this partnership, parties commit to, amongst others:
The signing was witnessed by esteemed leaders of our society, amongst others, the Honourable Minister of Higher Education and Training, Dr Blade Nzimande; the Honourable Minister of Public Enterprises, Mr Malusi Gigaba; Honourable Deputy Minister of Public Enterprises, Mr Ben Dikobe Martins; SAA Chairperson, Ms Cheryl Carolus; EWC College Council Chairperson, Mr Thembani Bukula; SAAT Chairperson, Mr Teddy Daka; the Acting Director General Department of Higher Education and Training, Mr Gwebinkundla Qonde. An initiative of this magnitude is rendered miniscule by the absence of high level support. The presence of two Ministers concerned bears testimony to this government's commitment to upskilling South Africa's workforce and the creation of job opportunities for many. We are particularly enthused by the commitment made by both Ministers to support this initiative and hope that this initiative will herald the birth of many such in all sectors of our economy. Ekurhuleni West College is elated by the fact that more and more young South Africans can be aided to participate fully and productively in a thriving economy, by gaining the skills and experience necessary to smooth the path between the classroom and the world of work. As we celebrate this partnership, we also celebrate with the many South African families who by virtue of this partnership will be able to bear testimony to the benefits of the partnership and its direct impact on the livelihoods of many families within SA's communities.

The Director of the Welfare thanked EWC Management and staff in a letter for the kind gesture and contribution which touched the lives of the children in the organisation.
