To the Chairperson of Neftaly Kingdom Royal Committee Mr. Clifford Legodi, all Neftaly Kingdom Royal Committee Members, Neftaly Royal Chiefs and all Neftaly Human Capital.
Kgotso a ebe le lena.
1. Executive Summary
Our mission is to deliver a comprehensive suite of 15 Funded and 5 Non-Funded courses. By leveraging a specialized 3-person Human Capital team, we map technical expertise against rigorous compliance standards. This plan ensures that every learner is not only trained but also “captured” within the digital evidence ecosystem required by our funders.
2. Course Categorization & Scope
The curriculum is divided into two distinct streams to ensure that funded mandates are met without neglecting community-based non-funded programs.
Stream A: Funded Programs (Priority Compliance)
Information Technology: Computer Training, Network Engineering, Systems Development, Technical/Systems Support.
Business & Management: Bookkeeping, Project Management, Entrepreneurship, Data Capturing.
Creative & Design: Graphic Design.
Social & Life Skills: Life Skills, Life Skills/S2S, Advice and Referral.
Stream B: Non-Funded Programs (Community Impact)
Advice, Referral & Paralegal Services.
Programming & Technical Support.
Web Development & Computer Skills / Web Design.
HIV/AIDS Awareness.
3. Human Capital Mapping (The Royal Team)
We utilize a “Triad Model” where each member holds a specific pillar of the implementation sheet.
I. Linda: The Academic & Quality Lead
Role Alignment: Linda is the primary driver of the “Instruction” column on the implementation sheet.
Technical Execution: Conducts theoretical and practical sessions for high-complexity courses (Network Engineering, Systems Development).
The “Paper Trail”: She doesn’t just teach; she prepares Assessor Reports and Meeting Minutes, which are the legal backbone of funded projects.
S2S Academy: Active student support and profile management
Evidence Collection: Scanning registers from all sessions
Reporting: Compiling the weekly Training Report
13:00 – 16:00
Registration: Onboarding new students for Funded/Non-Funded
Digital Filing: Uploading photos/videos to OneDrive
Stats: Finalizing the weekly attendance statistics
Staff Member: Project Lead (Strategy/Oversight
Time Block
Monday – Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
08:00 – 13:00
Compliance Watch: Reviewing adherence to training policies
Internal Audit: Verifying Dube’s registers against Linda’s profiles
Funder Liaison: Submitting weekly progress to stakeholders
13:00 – 16:00
Non-Funded Stream: Managing HIV/AIDS & Paralegal program flow
Quality Check: Reviewing marked assessments for accuracy
Strategic Review: Planning the upcoming week’s curriculum
6. Risk Mitigation & Compliance
Evidence Loss: Dube’s role includes a daily OneDrive sync to ensure no data is lost.
Assessment Backlog: Linda has dedicated “Friday Blocks” for marking to ensure feedback is never delayed.
Audit Readiness: By separating the Facilitator (Linda) from the Statistician (Dube), we create a “Check and Balance” system that prevents fraudulent reporting.
To reach these ambitious targets within the 3-month period (January – March 2026), we must implement a high-velocity throughput strategy. With the addition of Itu, we now have a “Double-Stream” delivery model, allowing us to run two specialized classes simultaneously while Dube handles the massive S2S data flow.

2. 3-Month Achievement Strategy
To hit these numbers, we will use three specific “Engines”:
Engine A: The S2S Mass-Processor (Led by Dube & Itu)
The Target: 625 S2S learners in 3 months.
How we reach it: We will treat the first hour of every day (09:00 – 10:00) as the “S2S Portal.”
Tactics: Dube handles the registration and login profiles for 15-20 new learners daily. Itu provides technical support in the lab to ensure they complete their digital modules. This ensures we hit the 208 per month requirement without interfering with afternoon technical classes.
Engine B: The Technical Rotation (Led by Linda & Itu)
The Target: 20 Networking/Systems Dev and 37 Accenture ICT learners monthly.
How we reach it: Using the parallel teaching method.
Room 2 (Itu): Focuses on Creative/Tech (Graphic Design/Web Design/Computer Training).
By splitting the technical courses, we double our capacity to 40 learners per time block instead of 20.
Engine C: The Logistics Blitz (Led by Project Lead & Dube)
The Target: 600 Certificates delivered.
How we reach it: Dedicated “Logistics Fridays.”
Tactics: During February, every Friday from 13:00 to 16:00 is designated for certificate sorting and courier dispatch. Dube scans the collection registers as evidence immediately to satisfy Modular Mining’s requirements.
3. Monthly Milestone Roadmap
Month 1: January (Foundation & Onboarding)
Focus: Launching the S2S platform and enrolling the first 210 Accenture learners.
Key Action: Start the DSD Computer Training and Life Skills blocks as per the calendar (09:00-11:00).
Compliance: Dube ensures all Jan registers are uploaded to OneDrive by Jan 30th.
Month 2: February (Peak Production)
Focus: High-intensity technical delivery.
Key Action: Linda ramps up Network Engineering and Systems Development. Itu begins the Graphic Design and Web Design cohorts.
Certificate Blitz: Start the once-off 600 certificate delivery process for Modular Mining.
Month 3: March (Assessment & Close-out)
Focus: Finalizing Portfolios of Evidence (PoE).
Key Action: Linda and Itu focus on marking and “Assessor Reports” to ensure all learners are graded.
Reporting: The Project Lead compiles the Q1 DSD Quarterly Report and the Accenture Quarterly Milestone Report for submission.
4. How the “Core Four” Team hits the targets
Member
Contribution to the Numbers
Linda
Ensures the 172 specialized learners (Networking/Systems/Project Mgmt) are competent and graded.
Itu
Manages the ICT & Creative volumes (Web, Graphics, Computers) and assists with S2S technical lab flow.
Dube
The “Data Machine”—he is responsible for the 2,500 S2S entries and the scanning of 100% of registers.
Project Lead
The “Closer”—audits the evidence to ensure 100% of the 4,440 targets are legally defensible for funding.
5. Risk Mitigation
If attendance is low: Dube will flag “At-Risk” learners by Wednesday each week.
If power/internet fails: Itu will have “Offline Theory” modules ready for the Computer Training classes so that no instructional time is lost.
Load Balancing: If Linda is overwhelmed with marking, Itu will take over the “Advice and Referral” sessions to free up her time.
