Thank you letter to ZAC from Khayalethu Langa

Khayalethu Langa is a recent Plant Learnership Graduate, who sent this letter to thank ZAC for providing him with the opportunity to complete a learnership at the mine.

Dear ZAC,

Having grown up in the local community of Ukhukho in the Thembalihle area of Zululand, it has always been one of my dreams to work at ZAC. This dream was fulfilled this year when I was granted a learnership to work in the Processing Plant at the mine.

I am writing this letter to express my sincere appreciation to ZAC for providing me with the opportunity to uplift my skills and knowledge. My learnership ran from 4 April to 22 October 2019.

I became aware of the opportunity to do the learnership when I saw the advert for learnership positions at the mine on a community notice board in 2018. This is something that we as the community greatly appreciate, as we do not all have access to internet and for many of us, this is the only way we would ever find out about these types of opportunities. This is a clear sign that ZAC cares about our community and wants the youth to succeed in life.

I had completed a Chemical Engineering course at the Majuba TVET College and applied to do a learnership for Basic Coal Preparation through ZAC. When I received my acceptance letter my heart filled with joy. I was determined to succeed and was selected to go to the Colliery Training College, in Emalahleni to do a seven-week Basic Coal Preparation course, which I passed with distinction by achieving 96%.

My experience with ZAC has been truly amazing and I am deeply appreciative for all the time and money that you spent on me. You really care about giving young people chances to improve themselves and develop our skills.

I want to especially thank Mr Okkie Schoeman, who mentored me and took me under his wing and offered me invaluable insights into coal preparation and processing. Thank you, Sir!

God Bless you all!

Yours Sincerely,

Khayalethu Langa

Ngangenze izifundo ze-Chemical Engineering eMajuba TVET College, ngase ngifaka isicelo sokwenza i-Basic Coal Preparation e-ZAC. Ngenkathi ngithola incwadi engemukelayo, inhliziyo yami yagxumagxuma. Ngangizimisele ukuphumelela, ngase ngikhethwa ukuthi ngiye e-Colliery Training College eMalahleni ukuyokwenza izifundo zeBasic Coal Preparation zamasonto ayisikhombisa, engaziphasa ngamalengiso ngithola u-96%.
