The Ntsane Masiloane School Enrichment programme was started in 2011 to assist Kwatsaduza’s learners in maths, science and accounting.
In 2013, Maths Excelling Academy and Ntuthuko Academy also emerged, to assist learners in the above-mentioned subjects.

These three Saturday schools have been committed to transforming education in the townships.
This year they all recognised that they could not make a notable impact individually, and decided to join forces in order to impact the lives of children.
“Collectively we’ve assisted over 1 200 learners, many of whom have improved from level two to level seven in mathematics,” says founder of Maths Excelling Academy, Collen Msibi.
The joint venture will therefore continue to assist Grade Eight to 11 learners in mathematics, accounting and physical science.
Learners will also be enriched through art and culture, since the three believe in edutainment, which is making education fun.

“Learners will further be assisted in establishing their talents in modelling, dancing, singing and acting while tackling the academics on Saturdays,” says Ntsane Masiloane, who heads the organisation and is the founder of Ntasane Masiloane School Enrichment Programme.
“KwaThema is where our roots are. However, we will be rolling out this initiative to some additional communities as we still feel obligated to give back to our community,” says Sibusiso Makhanya, founder of Ntuthuko Academy.
Learners can register for classes from December 10. Classes will commence very early in January 2017.
