Bhekisabathembu Secondary School in Umhlumayo and Ndalela Secondary School in Burford were also visited, where school uniforms were handed over.
The aim of this programme is to assist learners who are battling financially so that they don’t miss school because they don’t have uniforms. The Youth Development Office of Alfred Duma Local Municipality offers a variety of services and is open to anyone who needs assistance in the form of CAO forms, use of computers, bursary applications and much more.
