THE Fundi programme, whereby previously disadvantaged people are trained as wine stewards, is a totally unique concept and the first group of students have already received their training.
The training, with the eye on the World Cup soccer tournament next year, is funded by the sale of Fundi Wines.
Wines of South Africa (WOSA), on behalf of the South African wine industry, has launched the innovative premium wine.
Red wines were selected through a tender process, and submissions were judged by members of the Cape Winemakers’ Guild. At this stage, wines have been selected from the wineries Stellekaya, ‘the company of wine people’, Anwilka, Waterkloof and Hartenberg.
