Facilitators and providers in Paarl
Farming and food processing set the pace in Paarl and the Drakenstein valley. Wine and fruit farms, cellars, packhouses and food factories in Dal Josafat book safety, supervisor and workplace skills training, often timed around the harvest from January to April. The Drakenstein municipality runs planning sessions and public meetings, and NPOs in Mbekweni and Wellington run youth and early childhood programmes, mostly in Afrikaans and isiXhosa.
