They will attend plumbing and electrical courses during the programme, set to start on Friday. .
The acting deputy city manager of the corporate and human resources cluster, Dr Mpilo Ngubane, said young people would be selected for the programme from a city database. “We have advertised on a number of occasions for youth who qualified to register on a database to participate in such programmes. We renew and add recipients to the database every three years. We advertised in November last year for new recruits to be added to the database,” he said.
