Itumeleng’s Insider Tip: The “Early Bird” Deadline

Take note! While the general programme lists May 18th as the closing date, the Office Reception, E-Learning, and Communications roles close much earlier on 14 May 2026. Since Funda Wande is a high-profile educational NPO, they value “attention to detail.” Ensure your cover letter reflects your interest in early childhood literacy and how your digital or admin skills can support their mission to get all children reading for meaning.
