Learners were facilitated into creating a better
social environment for the local community by
building a rail link to join up with the
Gautrain. Learners had to research and apply
real life processes to obtain suitable results.
They enjoyed the process so much that they
extended the project into other areas and
developed their range of skills in the process.
