Trafalgar’s social responsibility addresses skills development by supporting several university students with bursaries. Trafalgar’s bursary program started this year with a focus on assisting and improving the skills shortage in the property sector aiding individuals who are looking to become property specialists, property portfolio managers, financial accountants and property administrators within South Africa.  

“We at Trafalgar are hopeful that we can continue to support students with bursaries and look forward to regular communication with them throughout their studies.  We are also excited to be a part of their journey into the future of property management and financial services in South Africa”.  We expect that some students may be successfully absorbed within the Trafalgar Group in the future when job opportunities become available.

As part of our nationwide funding this year and with 1 of our offices being in KwaZulu-Natal, UKZN was our automatic choice for student selection and funding.

According to Mr Tebelo Kokoropo, donor relations manager at UKZN Foundation “I am grateful to Trafalgar for their willingness to support UKZN students.  I see the 2021 bursaries as the beginning of a lasting mutually beneficial relationship between Trafalgar and UKZN.
