Axiz, the leading value-added distributor in sub-Saharan Africa, has launched its 2026 Graduate Programme in collaboration with SUSE, a global leader in enterprise open-source solutions. The strategic collaboration combines Axiz’s established distribution reach with SUSE’s enterprise-grade, open-source technologies and training expertise to develop production-ready ICT professionals for the regional market.
The 2026 cohort will begin a 12-month structured development cycle in mid-February, specifically engineered to produce specialists in enterprise Linux, cloud-native infrastructure and cybersecurity. This initiative addresses a critical market mismatch: the high demand for cloud and DevOps professionals versus the shortage of practical, workplace-ready experience among graduates.
Sustaining the Partner Ecosystem
Robert Nkuna, Chief Human Resources Officer at Axiz, says the SUSE Graduate Programme forms part of a broader channel enablement strategy aimed at strengthening long-term ecosystem capability. “By embedding graduates within partner organisations, we are creating a sustainable pipeline of talent that can support modern infrastructure environments and enhance cyber resilience,” he says.
Nkuna explains that the programme is structured to deliver measurable outcomes for both partners and participants, with a clear focus on building enterprise-ready technical depth within the channel. He adds that aligning training to technologies currently in high demand ensures the initiative supports partner growth while contributing to the continued development of the regional ICT sector.
The programme combines theoretical instruction with practical workplace exposure to support the development of production-level capability.
- Accredited qualifications: Participants will complete the Occupational Certificate: Cybersecurity Analyst (NQF Level 5) together with specialised SUSE enterprise training.
- Workplace mentorship: Graduates will be placed within partner organisations and exposed to live customer environments under structured supervision.
- Technical curriculum: The programme includes preparation for SUSE Enterprise Administrator and Engineer certifications to establish foundational enterprise Linux competency.
- Further specialisation: Participants will also complete Kubernetes and Rancher certification as part of the development pathway.
Magda Hanekom, Partner Executive for SUSE SSA, who brings over 26 years of distribution and channel expertise to the initiative, emphasises the social and technical impact of the collaboration:
“There is a massive need for these programmes; we have young people who want to make a success of their lives but lack the resources. This is what SUSE and Axiz are bringing to the market. Not only will these students gain technical knowledge, but they will also be hosted and mentored by SUSE partners for the duration of the programme.”

UK crypto holders brace for FCA’s expanded regulatory reach
The post UK crypto holders brace for FCA’s expanded regulatory reach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. British crypto holders may soon face a very different landscape as the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) moves to expand its regulatory reach in the industry. A new consultation paper outlines how the watchdog intends to apply its rulebook to crypto firms, shaping everything from asset safeguarding to trading platform operation. According to the financial regulator, these proposals would translate into clearer protections for retail investors and stricter oversight of crypto firms. UK FCA plans Until now, UK crypto users mostly encountered the FCA through rules on promotions and anti-money laundering checks. The consultation paper goes much further. It proposes direct oversight of stablecoin issuers, custodians, and crypto-asset trading platforms (CATPs). For investors, that means the wallets, exchanges, and coins they rely on could soon be subject to the same governance and resilience standards as traditional financial institutions. The regulator has also clarified that firms need official authorization before serving customers. This condition should, in theory, reduce the risk of sudden platform failures or unclear accountability. David Geale, the FCA’s executive director of payments and digital finance, said the proposals are designed to strike a balance between innovation and protection. He explained: “We want to develop a sustainable and competitive crypto sector – balancing innovation, market integrity and trust.” Geale noted that while the rules will not eliminate investment risks, they will create consistent standards, helping consumers understand what to expect from registered firms. Why does this matter for crypto holders? The UK regulatory framework shift would provide safer custody of assets, better disclosure of risks, and clearer recourse if something goes wrong. However, the regulator was also frank in its submission, arguing that no rulebook can eliminate the volatility or inherent risks of holding digital assets. Instead, the focus is on ensuring that when consumers choose to invest, they do…
