Phew; we have had a hectic few days and the media evening came and went. Zeljko joined us from Bentley Empowered and after a very tiring journey from the Netherlands he eventually landed in Durban on Thursday morning; then it was running through the last minute arrangements before the media arrived for interviews and pictures..

The media arrived and we met the most amazing people; we spent time talking to interested journalists who were impressed with Guenter and Andreas’s depth of knowledge and their humility and gentle natures. In training they are committed; patient and give of themselves selflessly; all these qualities come through within 5 minutes of spending time with them.

The dinner/cocktail party which was sponsored by Bentley Empowered was a very sociable successful evening; the speeches by Zeljko Djuretic; Zamani Khuzwayo of MiET and Philip Dikgomo of the MST and ICT Directorate of KZN DoE all emphasized the commitment of all the stakeholders to the roll out of the ELCAD programme. All of the parties reiterated the importance of the buy-in and dedication of the training group and their organisations to ensure that we make a significant impact on education and skills in SA.

The pictures clearly show the joy and sense of team that our trainees and delegates felt on the final evening; they have been a superb group of people; who have all shown their commitment and dedication daily…we are blessed to be working with such an amazing group of trainers across the country..
