Through its Rural Empowerment Project, OSJ is currently in Tzaneen, Limpopo, on a two-week photography workshop at Magoza Secondary School. This is OSJ’s second Rural Empowerment Project; in 2022 it first went to Nquthu’s Mathukulula Secondary School in KwaZulu-Natal.SOJ members are currently in its second and final week of their time at the Dan Village in Tzaneen where there are a total of 30 students, with 20 being from Magoza Secondary School and 10 picked from the village.
As this is their first time in Tzaneen and only there for the two weeks, SOJ will return to the community during the 2025 school holidays where they’ll add on to the skills taught during the ongoing two weeks.“Because we first went there in 2022, we returned in 2023 again to have workshops with the kids. Our mentors still go to the community to have workshops there. Next year we’re planning on adopting another school in KZN, not far from Nquthu in Nkandla,” shared Dhlamini.
