Polyco’s Packa-Ching, one of South Africa’s most successful community recycling initiatives has reached an impressive milestone. In just six years, the initiative has helped community residents in low-income areas across South Africa earn over R10 million in return for collecting over 10 million kilograms of used recyclable packaging materials such as plastic, glass, cans and paper.

The ability to work and adapt to changing technology has become integral in all professions. There are some levels of limitations in government funding as well as resources to support and enable youth development. However, locally active grassroots organisations have been playing an incredible role in upskilling youth not only for the Fourth Industrial Revolution but for future employment. As a company that is invested in upskilling the underprivileged community, Robtronics/Dunoworx offers learnerships on how to repair mobile phones and hosted the 2023 Leadership Intake Induction on the 12th of May 2023, with Cell C and Microlek being involved in this youth opportunity programme at the training centre in Sandown Valley Cres, Sandton.
