🚗🔧 Today we're proud to support the Motor Mech Show!

As part of our strong partnership with Retail Motor Industry Organisation - RMI which continuously supports our initiatives, training programmes, and student development activities, it is our turn to give back.

We are honoured to sponsor the 3 prizes for the MIWA Junior Motor Mech Competition, celebrating the talent, passion, and skills of South Africa's future artisans and technicians. 👏🏆

Investing in young people means investing in the future of our industry. We wish all participants the very best and look forward to seeing their skills in action!

Thank you to RMI for being a valued partner in advancing technical and vocational education.

Together, we are creating opportunities and building the next generation of skilled professionals. 🔧⚙️

Today is Youth Day — and the perfect day to to recognise the power, potential and importance of young people. And to back practical talent.

In Bloemfontein, Youth Day is being marked in a practical and meaningful way as the Motor Mech Show makes its Free State debut at Martie du Plessis High School.

For many young people, confidence grows when they are given the chance to do, build, repair, test, diagnose and solve.

That is why Motor Mech matters.

• It gives learners a platform to show their skills.
• It helps parents see the value of practical talent.
• It connects schools with workshops, suppliers and industry professionals.
• It opens conversations about real careers in the automotive sector.
• It reminds us that technical ability deserves recognition, support and opportunity.

Through MIWA’s Junior Motor Mech Competition, learners are taking on theoretical and practical challenges that test their focus, technical knowledge and problem-solving ability.

And because the event is held in collaboration with the OFS Veteran Car Club and Cars in the Park, visitors can also experience a special blend of motoring heritage and future skills — a reminder that every industry needs both its history and its next generation.

🌿Advancing Community Empowerment Through Skills and Entrepreneurship Development🌿

In partnership with Motheo TVET College and Kreishandwerkerschaft Steinfurt Warendorf, last week a selected group of 10 community members from Thaba Nchu, led by the local councillor, participated in our reusable sanitary pads skills training at Motheo TVET College - Thaba Nchu Campus.

The training was facilitated by Onkarabetse Mokhobo, our N6 student and trainer, who led the group with dedication and excellence. 👏

Building on this, the project continues with a 2-day entrepreneurship training, aimed at equipping participants to turn their newly acquired skills into sustainable income-generating opportunities and small business initiatives.

This is true community-driven empowerment — creating skills, opportunity, and long-term impact. 💚

✨🔥 What a POWERFUL last week of partnerships, progress & purpose! 🔥✨
