South Africa’s printing industry is constantly at work in assisting development and growth in the print industry, according to Steve Thobela, CEO of Printing SA’s industry body.
Thobela said that, at a time when unemployment was rife, empowering South Africans to have the necessary skills rather than stand by helplessly having them wait for jobs to materialise, was imperative. Skills development is a necessity to achieve growth within the print industry.
