    Company description

    Over the past decade, Cyril Ramaphosa Foundation has had a remarkable impact on the people and communities in which it works. Through dedication, collaboration and a commitment to creating positive change, we continue to build on our previous achievements to create a South Africa we can all be proud of.

    Bursary description

    In 2004, when the Shanduka Foundation – now known as Cyril Ramaphosa Foundation – was formed, CRET was given the opportunity to grow significantly – and it did. From an initial commitment to sponsor five students studying towards business degrees , CRET has flourished under the support of the Foundation, its corporate sponsors and partners to reach a record 65 bursary recipients by 2017.

    CRET has a different approach to the management of its education programme and aims to recruit candidates that would ordinarily be overlooked by other bursary programmes, which commonly seek out the top achievers only.

    What CRET does is select candidates that demonstrate the potential to blossom under the right conditions and with the proper support. To such young people, CRET will offer nurturing, financial support, mentorship and psychological and social grounding.

    Since CRET is a bursary scheme that considers the holistic needs of the student as well as their potential, each bursary is tailor-made to fulfil the student’s needs. This generally includes, but is not restricted to, tuition, accommodation, books, stationery and a personal allowance stipend
