Thabisile Primary School in Diepkloof received a welcome boost from local sponsors, including whiteboards, doors, paint, and fresh produce—enhancing learning conditions and promoting community involvement.
Thabisile Primary School (TPS) in Diepkloof received donations from several entities that will make learning easier and more conducive on July 25.
With Adreach as the primary sponsor, others joined in after seeing the need to uplift the school.
Adreach specialises in street pole and outdoor advertising. Founded on the principle of ubuntu, answering the call to give back to local communities came naturally.

Adreach CEO Zuza Mbatha shared that he is a former TPS learner and, when he heard they needed whiteboards, he did not hesitate.
“This is not the last time we will come to the school and give back; we will stay in contact with the principal and try our best to comply with their requests,” said Mbatha.
Gauteng MPL Matshidiso Mfikoe donated doors to the school, while Muzi Ndlovu from the ANC brought paint for the classrooms and fruits and vegetables for the learners.
Manqoba Kubheka, the principal of TPS, thanked the donors, “As a school, we are grateful for these donations. We have been using traditional blackboards and are slowly but surely moving with the times.
