Grant Description

On September 2, 2018, during President Cyril Ramaphosa's state visit in Beijing at the invitation of President Xi Jinping ahead of the two-day Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) Summit, the two Presidents signed an agreement on refurbishments to a number of technical and vocational training (TVET) colleges.

South Africa's Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) and the Chinese Embassy exchanged letters of commitment for the upgrade and refurbishment of Tshwane North and the Tshwane South TVET Colleges in Pretoria, South Africa.

This involves the construction of student support centers, teaching buildings, workshops, a multipurpose indoor facility, and an enclosing wall. The status and amount of financing of this project are unknown.
