Cyril Ramaphosa Foundation

Masego Bosoga is one of the many rising educators shaped by the Cyril Ramaphosa Education Trust (CRET). Since joining in 2016, she has benefited from more than just financial aid as Masego’s journey includes mentorship, emotional support, and deep practical experience in teacher training. Her story shows how investment in educators is not just about covering costs. It is about giving them real classrooms to learn in, support when times are tough, and confidence to face every challenge. When we nurture teachers well, we are strengthening the education system for everyone. Read her story here: https://lnkd.in/dms69ng7 #Dynamic #Building #Inclusive #Empowered #Society

Tshidiso Chiloane joined Cyril Ramaphosa Education Trust (CRET) in 2018 and has been supported in many ways. He received a full bursary, but also care, guidance, and encouragement - especially at moments when things could have gone either way. At university, Tshidiso’s training was more than just theoretical. He was prepared for the realities of being in the classroom - and that preparedness paid off when he transitioned into teaching. He manages Grades 8-12, teaches three subjects, and works hard to create a trusting, open classroom where students feel heard and engaged. The benefits of supporting teachers extend far beyond exams and curriculum: it shapes lives.
