Anglo Inyosi Coal Community Trust (AICCT) has made a significant contribution to the development of education in the Klarinet area by donating five mobile classrooms and 200 desks and chairs to Siyanqoba Combined School.

The donation on May 16, valued at R1 976 364.90, aims to alleviate the pressing issue of overcrowded classrooms.

The school, a no-fee institution serving Grades 8, 9, and 10, currently accommodates 554 learners in mobile classrooms.

The additional infrastructure will significantly reduce classroom congestion, enhance learner engagement, and contribute to academic success.

“We are thrilled to support Siyanqoba Senior Secondary School with this donation,” said a representative from AICCT, Zininzi Muluma.

“Our goal is to create a conducive learning environment that fosters academic excellence and empowers our learners to achieve their full potential.”

The initiative follows a call for support by the Department of Education in Mpumalanga, which sought partnerships to tackle the overcrowding crisis faced by schools in rapidly developing areas.

“This partnership is a shining example of how collaboration between the private sector and government can bring lasting change to our communities,” said Mpho Maphosa, representative of the Department of Education, during the handover ceremony.

The principal of the school expressed heartfelt gratitude to AICCT for making the expansion possible and improving the school’s learning environment.
