Testimonals

Sinenhlanhla Dhlamini

I remember the date and day so vividly because I couldn’t believe this great organisation had seen potential in this little girl with no work experience. I served as a community manager until December 2020. During my time there, I acquired immense skills that are helping me in my current role at Digify Africa’s partner Wunderman Thompson. The skills I acquired were the following:

  • Creative social media copywriting
  • Leadership skills
  • Presentation skills
  • Reporting skills

Being a part of this project taught me flexibility and being able to adapt to the ever-changing landscape of social media platforms. I was able to learn how to strategically apply myself and my mind to everything (most things) around me in order to come up with great ideas that appealed to the Standard Bank community.

On the 4th of January, I was given the opportunity to help community manage one of Wunderman’s global clients and since then I have had the privilege of assisting other local and international brands. This may not have been possible without Digify Africa and the Dinaledi project.
