He has held his current role at The Impact Catalyst for over a year and is passionate about the work being done under his leadership.

He then outlines the initiatives his departments focus on and unpacks the impact of the Northern Cape School Connectivity project on the schools that are involved. He also expands on how the Northern Cape School Connectivity project ties into key topics such as the future of work, 4IR, and the importance of collaboration between the private and public sectors. Matsio concludes by discussing potential plans for expanding the School Connectivity project to the rest of the Northern Cape, and the support needed to achieve this goal.
