Kuzimisela Primary School principal Nicholas Yende expressed gratitude to Broadway Sweets after the company serviced a borehole that will provide the school with around 10 000 litres of water.

Broadway Sweets also donated a filtration system to ensure the water is safe for consumption and can prevent water-borne diseases like cholera.

Speaking at the unveiling of the borehole on December 5, Yende said, “Thank you to Broadway Sweets for what they’ve done for the school. It’s not the first time they are helping us. They first drilled a borehole before the Covid19 pandemic.

“This borehole is helpful because we can save water and even during outages, we are operational. We don’t have to use the municipality’s water anymore because our borehole has been serviced. It provides us with 10 000 litres of water and has filters to ensure the water is drinkable.

Broadways Sweets’s marketing manager Michelle Jacobs said they got involved with Kuzimisela after learning of water shortages at several schools in Daveyton and Etwatwa.

“We stepped in and installed six boreholes at six schools in Etwatwa and Daveyton. We have serviced the Kuzimisela Primary borehole so that when the learners come back next year, they’ll have clean running water.

“Water is important. It gives us dignity. When there was no water here, learning stopped and we were concerned because we are interested in the future of our children,” said Jacobs.
