Africa Code Week

By

A long long time ago someone once said; “Be nice to Nerds for one day they will employ you!”

The Africa Code Week has to date benefitted 1.8 million young Africans.

Deputy Minister of Communications, Ms Pinky Kekana will today – Friday, 5th October 2018 – launch Africa Code Week. Africa Code Week is an initiative led by SAP as part of its social investment program to drive sustainable growth in Africa.

Deputy Minister Kekana believes that coding should be a critical component of Youth Development. Africa Code Week, is a welcome response to the calls for digital skills in an impending digital economy.

The launch takes place this morning at The Venue, Melrose Arch, 17th High Street, Johannesburg.

Nerds will receive a pocket protector in their gift packs!

Passionate about Port Elizabeth and definitely NOT packing for Perth. Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." See more articles by Alan.
