The Imibala Trust was given the opportunity to recruit five candidates for bursaries to the South African College for Tourism in Graaff-Reinet, for 2019. Of the eight high schools with which the trust works, four were asked to put forward pupils with an interest in hospitality or tourism. Prospective candidates were selected by the schools and attended an information session. From that group, the final five were identified, through an application and interview process.
