I am particularly passionate about education and upliftment and finding ways to ensure that our young people in South Africa have access to working opportunities. The PYDA (Pinotage Youth Development Academy) is a wonderful organisation that provides a year-long educational environment for those previously unable to access the wine and tourism world. With wine.co.za providing so much information online, from jobs to wines, to restaurants, to educational videos, I was delighted to be invited to present to this year's group. Thank you Nikki, Juanita, Rita and the gang at PYDA for what you do and we look forward to this group graduating in May 2017!
