Lulaway, a job creating organization, and Uber have joined forces to create South Africa’s maiden recruitment and training center at Century City, Cape Town. With unemployment in South Africa at 26.5%, it is crucial that the country and its industry partners come up with smart and efficient ways to reduce this number. Alon Lits, AlmaLinks member and the general manager for Uber sub-Saharan Africa, says that the firm is excited about this partnership “as drivers are on the core of our business, and everyone deserves a fair chance to participate in South Africa’s economy.” He continues by explaining that partnerships like these benefit the economy and connect people who provide transportation services with others who need them. Lulaway chairperson, Andile Mkhosana, concludes the article by clarifying that combing these companies is a pilot project but one that can be taken nationally and provide major benefits for the community.
