tudents who want a career in information technology can now apply for bursaries to study at Lux Mundi Training in Grassy Park, a community college. “The idea of a community college was started, managed and supported by communities from the Cape Flats and sounded like an impossible dream back in 2012. It was an uphill battle to make this dream a reality and in 2014 Lux Mundi Training was accredited with the Media, Information Communication Technologies (MICT) Seta and a few courses were registered at the Seta,” says reverend Rodney van Wyk, the CEO of Lux Mundi Training.
