I am Asandiswa.  I joined Edunova in 2007 as a lab assistant and was given the opportunity to do ICDL to become a full facilitator.  I'm now responsible for 3 Primary Schools, supporting and training educators on how to use ICT tools in the lab and in class (Modular and Smart Board) to develop and improve the standard of education within the school.

On my journey as educator, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) facilitator and coordinator in the Western Cape Education Departmental (WCED) environment, the need for expressed individualism, the respect for diversity, intensive guidance and positive initiatives in all facets of the transformation process in education and community evolution, became my passion and vision. The creation and support of miscellaneous partnerships and working in collaboration became the key word of positive change across all boundaries embracing young and old. I became part of the Edunova team to continue the shared vision with unrestricted ICT empowerment possibilities. ICT has no limits, no degrees needed, no age restriction, no discrimination, easy to access, resourceful e-learning, it enhances communication and collaboration on a neutral ground and enriches lives universally. My continued mission is the empowerment of effective change methodologies and innovative leadership through ICT.

I joined Edunova in late 2012.My background has been primarily in retail where I worked for the Clicks organisation for a number of years. There I worked in all facets of the business from store manager, area manager, regional manager and also stints heading up the buying and marketing function. My last five years at the organisation was running the entertainment side of the business, Musica as Managing Director. At Clicks I was involved in a lot of the organisational and development work of the business particularly around teams focussing on their structure, performance and competencies.

Since leaving Clicks I have bought a Printing Business which is situated in Somerset West and am also the chairperson of Tereo, an organisation which offers schooling facilities for primary school street kids. So I’m very excited about playing a role in being a conduit through which learners can empower themselves for bigger and better futures. I am a sure this coming year will expand my horizon to the possibilities available in the Education horizon.

I am a CA and love to “work the numbers”.  It is especially fulfilling when I am working in the education environment and am able to be a part of seeing young people grow into new abilities and talents and find their passion in life.

I'm Ncumisa Makambi, a new additon to the Edunova team.  I'm 20 years old and have just moved down from Jo'burg.  I'm an IT Entrepreneur in training and am looking forward to working with the team.

My two passions are education and technology. Edunova is enabling me to work in an innovative space where I have the opportunity to marry these two areas in an exciting and meaningful way. I work in the space where technology meets education, attempting to confront and conquer the various challenges that present themselves when you try to integrate ICTs into learning. I have a background in journalism and linguistics which contribute to my growth in an organisation where effective communication is key to the contributions we are making to our communities. I am also a qualified teacher; I am passionate about learning and believe strongly that the best way to educate yourself and those around you, is to create meaningful experiential learning opportunities.

I'm Unathi Xalisa. I joined the Edunova team in April 2008 as a lab assistant, and am currently a facilitator. My job is to develop educators and learners in ICT Skills and community members on basic literacy computer skills. Additionally, I work with a group of  high school learners on a learner technical support programme.
