WESSA Schools Programme Annual Report 2019/2020

Our ‘Amiable-But-No-Nonsense’ Project Manager NOMFUNDO NDLOVU

Nomfundo is a qualified Horticulturist who holds a National Diploma in Horticulture, a Bachelor of Technology (Horticulture) and a Postgraduate Certificate in Education. Nomfundo is motivated by inspiring change behavior in children and youth in her everyday job. Her down time is spent reading and researching alternative medicine which is currently her area of interest. Nomfundo enjoys practicing her MasterChef skills in the kitchen and makes a mean oxtail stew with dumplings – but she’s still struggling to master a good lasagna. She is an eager (big) car enthusiast and the 2020 Landrover Defender ticks all the boxes for her.

Our ‘Witty-and-Dependable’ Database Manager NONJABULO DLADLA

Nonja holds a BSc in Environmental Sciences from the University of Kwazulu-Natal and is the youngest member in our team. Growing up, she really wanted to be doctor because of the Greys Anatomy TV show. However, after spending some time job shadowing at Greys Hospital in Pietermaritzburg in her matric year, her interest completely changed because she realized that it wasn’t her passion. Nonja is practically addicted to olives because of the health benefits they have – especially for her skin. After reading the book Fast Food Nation, she attempted to be a vegetarian a few times – and let’s just say she is still trying. She has a phobia for driving but know that it is something she’ll need going forward and is therefore taking lessons to get over this phobia.

Zwai holds a National Diploma in Environmental Education which has expanded his knowledge to teach and learn in, about and for the environment. He is currently studying towards a BA Degree in Environmental Management through the University of South Africa. Our ‘Ask-Me-I’ve-Done-It’ Project Implementation Guru! ZWAKELE NGWENYA About 5 years ago, Zwai started exercising by doing short jogs around his neighbourhood and in no time was ready to run marathons! He has already done major races such as the Soweto, Mid-Vaal and SASOL marathons and would love to do the Comrades soon. Mountains climbing is next on his list. Zwai is an ‘informal chef’ and the Chairman of a WhatsApp group called “Men who Cook” which strives to change the mentality that cooking is a home chore directed to women only.
