Clement Manyathela returns to Vaalbank to open pathways for rural learners

Clement Manyathela, a South African broadcaster, has returned to his hometown of Vaalbank to address educational disparities affecting rural learners. He established the Clement Manyathela Foundation, which aims to provide psychosocial support, career guidance, and mentorship to students at Hlalakahle High School, his former school. Manyathela highlights that many young people in rural areas lack awareness of career options and financial aid opportunities, leading to missed educational prospects. Learners at Hlalakahle High express ambitious career goals, such as becoming gynaecologists or actuaries, but often lack the necessary exposure and guidance to achieve these aspirations. The foundation seeks to bridge this gap by offering resources and support to ensure rural students have equal access to opportunities.
