Renaissance Secondary School in Musina has officially opened its new state of the art science laboratory, a milestone made possible through a partnership between Venetia Mine and the Young Diamantaires.

What began in 2019 as a shared vision to improve STEM education has now become a modern, fully equipped space for Grade 10–12 learners to explore science through hands on experiments.

This project is more than new infrastructure, it’s an investment in future scientists, engineers and innovators, and a powerful step forward for education and opportunity in the Musina community.

Palesa – nurturing the growth of small local businesses

Venetia mine, through Worley’s CSI contribution and in partnership with Trioplus, have launched the Palesa Funding Programme, an initiative dedicated to supporting small local businesses.

In August, 11 entrepreneurs from the community were selected to present their businesses to a joint panel. Through Palesa, these entrepreneurs will receive grant funding for equipment, tools, and infrastructure, helping them take their businesses to the next level.

By investing in local talent, Palesa is not just helping individuals achieve their dreams, it’s creating jobs, building a stronger local economy, and inspiring a ripple effect of growth and opportunity.

As Palesa takes root, it stands as a testament to Venetia mine’s commitment to positive, lasting impact. Venetia mine is proud to be part of a programme that truly makes a difference. Here’s to growing together.

Meet Samuel Sebaiwa: Growing Skills, Growing Community

Samuel Sebaiwa, a 28-year-old from Inveraan village in Limpopo, is proof that passion and opportunity can change lives. Thanks to the Venetia mine and AGDA two-year learnership programme, Samuel’s love for farming has blossomed into a powerful force for good in his community.

Before joining the programme, Samuel volunteered at the Inveraan Youth and Community Foundation, teaching basic farming skills to local schoolchildren. But he wanted to do more; so he applied for the learnership, eager to gain new knowledge and make an even bigger impact.

The online format of the programme was a perfect fit, allowing Samuel to balance his studies with his volunteer work. He’s learned about modern farming techniques like hydroponics and mulching and now feels more confident than ever as an agricultural educator.

“My passion for farming was always there, but I didn’t have the knowledge. Now I’m much more confident and in a position to teach others,” Samuel says.

Samuel’s journey shows how the Venetia mine and AGDA learnership is empowering individuals to uplift their communities, one skill, one lesson, and one harvest at a time.

We’re so proud of Samuel and all the local changemakers making a difference.
