Since 1989 their team has have trained more than 10 000 unemployed people with market-related skills.

As for what bravery means to their students, this is what they had to share…

The word ‘brave’ to me means courage, it means being strong, it means getting out of your comfort zone, facing your fears, and going for what you believe in.
– Anele Gwente, Student

Showing courage through fear – because fear will always be there. So, it’s just defying the odds of fear – just going for what you want.
– Thembalethu Mafuna, Student

The Randlord Mansions: Northwards

The most iconic of the Randlord Mansions is Northwards, built in 1904 for the eccentric Jose Dale Lace and his wife, Josie. Sitting on the edge of the Parktown Ridge, the house was constructed from the very quartzite rock it sits upon, making it look as though it grew directly out of the mountain. It featured a minstrel gallery, a massive ballroom, and a view that stretched 50 kilometers north toward the Magaliesberg mountains. The lifestyle inside was Gatsby-esque; Josie Dale Lace was famous for driving through the dusty streets of early Johannesburg in a carriage pulled by zebras. However, the grandeur was often fleeting; the Dale Laces lost their fortune, and the house eventually became the residence of the Chairman of the South African Breweries.
