MBOMBELA – The Department of Tourism will host a graduation ceremony to honour Chefs in the Mpumalanga Province who successfully completed the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) programme. The 20 students will receive NQF Level 5 Occupational Trade certificates, fulfilling their dreams of being accredited chefs in the tourism sector.
Since its launch in 2005, this platform has served as a bridge, connecting African suppliers with global buyers, connecting destinations with investors, connecting policy with partnership and connecting opportunity with execution.
Tourism remains a powerful national asset and a key pillar of South Africa’s growth agenda. The Minister reaffirmed the Department’s commitment to continue to work with communities and the private sector to build on this momentum through the implementation of the Tourism Growth Partnership Plan. It will drive demand, unlock further investment, and ensure that tourism continues to create shared prosperity for all South Africans in the year ahead.
