The Sizanani Mentorship programme was launched in 2007 by Laurence Le Blanc from RATP international, the French company which operates the Gautrain. Since then, the programme has been helping high school learners from Alexandra township in Johannesburg to succeed in their studies and gain access to universities through the provision of mentors, career information and bursaries. Sizanani works in collaboration with St Mary’s school in Waverley ( Johannesburg) which offers extra classes on Saturday and holidays (Ikusasa Lethu Projects) to more than 300 Grade 9,10,11 and 12 learners from Alexandra High Schools.
