MEC for public works donates 100 desks to school in Mkhondo
The handover comes after the MEC’s visit to the school at the beginning of this academic year. He believes the furniture will aid in the successful learning processes at the school.
The Mpumalanga MEC for public works, roads and transport, Mandla Ndlovu, donated 100 classroom desks to Amadlelo Aluhlaza Secondary School in Mkhondo on Tuesday April 9.
The donation came after Ndlovu visited the school and saw a need for more desks during the school’s reopening programme in January.
“I believe that education is crucial for success. As the MEC, I was determined to make this donation a reality for the students. It is the government’s responsibility to provide quality education and sufficient resources for its future leaders.

“As a former school teacher, I am delighted at this gesture of good will to the children. The desks will eliminate one challenge out of many in the plight to create a purposeful environment that will encourage learning in our schools. I believe the only weapon to any child is education which always opens the doors of success,” said Ndlovu.
He also interacted with the learners and encouraged them to take pride in their school work.
