She continued to express that the Huawei ICT Competition plays an extremely important role in motivating students to push themselves and demonstrate determination, commitment and perseverance to overcome challenges. “The Huawei ICT competition aims to develop a platform for government organizations, Higher Education Institutions, training partners, enterprises and students to support ICT education.” This competition does not only recognize and reward student achievements in technology, but also provides guidance for future career development.
Llale further said that Huawei ICT competition means much more than a challenge. “It is a journey to explore the latest technologies and to understand the latest industry trends. Students now have a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding on the technological world of today and tomorrow.”

One of the students who entered the Huawei competition, Patience Munzhelele said that when a door is open, you become the first to enter before it closes because you don’t know the opportunities that you might find in that opened door. “The telecommunication world is growing at a faster rate with fewer females within the programming department or inventors,” she said.
