Diepsloot\u2014 In a powerful display of commitment to youth empowerment and community upliftment, 4Sight Holdings has taken another major step to transform education in under-resourced communities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The tech-driven company officially opened a brand-new, future-ready computer lab at Laezonia Primary School, just outside Diepsloot, investing nearly R1 million in infrastructure that equips learners with essential digital skills for the modern economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Launched over a decade ago, 4Sight\u2019s corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative has blossomed into a hands-on movement of sustainable change. This year\u2019s highlight\u2014the opening of a fully equipped computer lab featuring 50 laptops, Microsoft software licenses, furniture, and backup power solutions\u2014is a milestone in their journey to bridge the digital divide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The school, which serves more than 2,000 learners from the Diepsloot informal settlement, now has access to a modern learning environment designed to prepare children for careers in fields like AI programming, data science, and computer engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs the world moves into the Fifth Industrial Revolution, South Africa must prepare its youth with skills that will define the future,\u201d said Tertius Zitzke, CEO of 4Sight Holdings. \u201cAfrica is rising as the future powerhouse of global skills, and we are proud to be part of that journey.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The success of the project was made possible through collaboration with Microsoft and Mustek, who supported the supply of hardware and software for the lab.But 4Sight\u2019s investment goes far beyond technology. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through the 4Bonela Pele Education Trust, the company offers scholarships and bursaries to help develop the next generation of ICT professionals. Moreover, their longstanding partnership with Partners for Possibility (PfP)\u2014a nonprofit that pairs business leaders with school principals\u2014has helped strengthen leadership and drive meaningful transformation at Laezonia Primary School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For over ten years, 4Sight has been actively involved in improving the school\u2019s infrastructure. From rehabilitating classrooms and repainting walls to drilling a new borehole for sustainable water supply and installing renewable energy solutions, the company\u2019s employees have personally rolled up their sleeves to get the job done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe didn\u2019t want to outsource this work. We believe in people\u2014our people\u2014and we\u2019ve seen how direct involvement creates real impact,\u201d said Zitzke. \u201cOur staff have painted classrooms, built an open-air chessboard, and even serve on the school governing body to make fast, effective decisions.\u201dThe school and surrounding community have embraced 4Sight as their own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Community members often host braais and celebratory events to thank the staff for their commitment and support. In a touching moment earlier this year, the school choir performed a song created using AI technology\u2014developed by 4Sight\u2014showing how the blend of tradition and innovation is shaping a new era of education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Looking ahead, 4Sight has already identified its next CSR focus: refurbishing the school\u2019s kitchen to help provide nutritious meals to learners during the school day.\u201cBy investing in environments that promote meaningful learning and future-ready skills, we\u2019re opening doors to brighter futures,\u201d said Christiaan Leboho, 4Sight Africa MD and project lead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
