Success Story from Aubrey Tepanyekga

Aubrey Tepanyekga, who completed our Bonani program, is now the Assistant Manager of the Tax Department at Ngubane & Co.

Recently honoured with the prestigious "Staff Member of the year" award, Aubrey’s success in practice has also featured in newspaper articles that ran in the Midrand Reporter and The Star Workplace.

Here is an excerpt from the Star article:

Prior to being accepted onto the Bonani Work Readiness Programme, Tepanyekga’s career seemed but a distant dream. Despite being armed with a good academic record and a Diploma in Cost and Management Accounting, he was unable to find employment. His life changed for the better when he applied for the nine-month Fasset-funded Bonani Work Readiness Programme.

Fasset CEO, Cheryl James, says Fasset staff together with Fasset’s project partners derive an enormous amount of job satisfaction and pride from seeing Fasset pupils excel in the workplace.

Tepanyekga said "I hope that one day we will have a Guarantee Trust University for Accountants that will take in as many disadvantaged students as possible. I am ready to plough back my skills as a part-time lecturer".
