When South Africa held its first democratic elections in April 1994 and, under the leadership of President Nelson Mandela, education was identified as one of the central pillars of the Reconstruction and Development Programme, Education Africa set out to assist in whichever way possible to help establish a culture of learning and teaching in South Africa.
Developing business leaders and entrepreneurs It is an established fact that there is a tremendous constraint on South AfricaÕs long-term economic growth due to the lack of management skills in the country, particularly among the black population. In order to assist the training of these managers, Education Africa helped initiate the African Management Programme. The content of the programme is the result of thorough research by the business sector. It is a programme developed for South Africans by South Africans, and includes many aspects of management which are indigenous to the country. Masibambane College Masibambane College was built at the request of the late Walter Sisulu, one of South Africa's greatest sons and, for many years, a mentor of Nelson Mandela. The school is located in the Orange Farm community, an informal housing settlement south-west of Johannesburg. Cycle Aid for Africa Cycle Aid for Africa, a project run by Education Africa, NOCSA and the Osaka Prefectural Government in Japan, has been a major success on all counts. The project aims at redistributing thousands of bicycles that have been abandoned and discarded in the Japanese cities of the Osaka Prefecture to underprivileged schoolchildren and communities in South Africa. Edu-bike Africa Edu-bike Africa is a practical and inspiring educational programme which has been developed around the theme of the bicycle, and focuses on assisting Education Africa's partner schools in their outreach programmes. Sustainable Educational Architecture (SEA) University students from Austria are making a meaningful contribution to disadvantaged communities in South Africa by designing and constructing buildings using simple, inexpensive, locally available building materials while applying innovative, experimental solutions. The HIV/AIDS Education Programme Education Africa would like to introduce a Research and Development Programme which we believe has the potential to play a vital role in reducing the infection rate of HIV/Aids among South Africa's youth
