History of Dakawa

ABOUT DAKAWA The Centre started in Tanzania in 1986 as part of the African National Congress's (ANC) initiative to create opportunities for vocational skills. It was called the Dakawa project and it was at a base camp which was 60 kilometres north of Mazimbu where the famous Solomon Mahlangu Freedom College was based.

With the help of the Swedish International Development Agency, it was relocated to Grahamstown in 1992 after the suspension of hostilities between the liberation movements and the South African government. The ANC withdrew its role at the Centre to insure that the Centre would become self-managing and at arms-length from the government. The present director Mr. Siphiwo Lubambo was a significant role player in the formation of the Dakawa Project while in Tanzania.
