That is why Nelekat Institute proudly joined the 5th Annual Limpopo Varsity Hackathon (LVH) as one of the official sponsors, reaffirming its commitment to youth empowerment, digital transformation, and skills development in South Africa.

Hosted in collaboration with the University of Limpopo, Tshwane University of Technology, University of Venda, and mLab Southern Africa, the launch event took place on 15 May 2026 at the Tshwane University of Technology Polokwane Campus.
