Our Motto
Unbound and untamed, the proud wild horse encapsulates the essence of freedom. Free to run wild, roam across vast and uncharted landscapes, overcome hurdles and stand proud in victory; the wild horse is representative of the freedom we promote:
“Freedom through Knowledge”
Ignorance and a lack of proper life-long education pose great obstacles to effective and efficient work performance and the achievement of success. We strive to equip people with theoretical and practical knowledge to release them from the shackles of these obstacles. Knowledge gives you the freedom to overcome difficulties and contribute to the development of oneself, organisations, communities and nations.
