About SEWAFRICA

SEWAFRICA Training Centre was founded in 2001 to meet the specific needs of the clothing sector in Inner City Johannesburg.
The need for training and SEWAFRICA’s reputation in the industry grew to the extent that we had to move to new, larger premises in February of 2004, thereby increasing our capacity to meet the demand. We are currently operating from SEWAFRICA House, 136 Pritchard Street, Johannesburg.
