TVETCGC and SARGF join forces to promote responsible gambling
The MOU aims to develop staff training programmes and conduct research into gambling behaviour among young people.
South Africa.- The Technical and Vocational Education and Training College Governors’ Council (TVETCGC) has signed a memorandum of understanding with the South African Responsible Gambling Foundation (SARGF) to develop staff training programmes and conduct research into gambling behaviour among young people.
The partnership was unveiled by TVETCGC’s Secretary-General Sanele Zondi while speaking at the Responsible Gambling Summit 2025. He underscored the severe consequences of students using stipends for online betting, which poses risks to their social and economic wellbeing.
By collaborating with SARGF, Zondi noted that TVETCGC aims to provide students with a safety net that helps them make informed life choices. He said: “Our colleges are not just centres of learning, they are spaces where skills meet ethics, and where innovation, entrepreneurship and repair services shape the future workforce.”
Zondi urged the gambling industry to join forces in developing a workforce that embodies responsible and ethical practices, while reminding young South Africans that their education and future potential exceed any short-term gains from gambling.
