“We start with regionals then nationals and proceed to continental competitions then other international levels. I’m sure these students will be able to reach most of these levels,” said Munane.
He added that the competition will enable students get international jobs advising them (students) to perfect their skills.
“It’s funny, you know with these innovations and robotics the interviews are just what you can see. Many have earned jobs internationally due to their successful presentations of skills. That is where we are heading,” Munane, who is also Masinga Technical & Vocational College principal, said.
