Kgotso a ebe le lena.
It is with great honour and humility that I present a brief report regarding the progress, challenges, priorities, and support required for the continued growth of Neftaly Kingdom.
- Neftaly Achievements
Since 2005, Neftaly has grown from a small drama and youth organisation into a recognised platform for youth development, skills empowerment, and community transformation.
Over the years, Neftaly has trained and supported more than 1,500 young people in areas such as life skills, Information Technology (IT), business, retail, leadership, and hospitality. Through this work, many young people have secured employment opportunities, while others successfully started their own businesses.
Neftaly expanded from Diepsloot to other communities across South Africa, reaching young people through nonprofit development programmes. We have also received recognition and nominations in entrepreneurship and community development, including acknowledgement through the Anzisha Prize for young African entrepreneurs.
Today, the Neftaly Ecosystem continues to grow as a digital and development platform focused on education, business development, community services, and nonprofit training across Southern Africa.
