In addition, he organised an outreach programme that aimed at providing for the physical and emotional needs of children from a poor community.

The work was physical and hard but allowed Anele to learn some technical and business skills and taught him excellent interpersonal skills. The owner of the dealership also asked Anele to perform some human resources administrative tasks and allowed him to do this work from home on his personal computer. Anele earned a pre-determined amount based on the amount of work each task involved. During the June-July holidays, he worked in the human resources department of a computer company. He was not paid for this co-operative learning, but he saw it as a good opportunity to practise some human resources skills and to get used to an organisational environment.
