Speaker, the ANC welcomes the initiative of one of the most successful land restitution projects, owned by the AmaNgcolosi Community Trust in KwaZulu-Natal, who has handed over five new classrooms worth more than R1 million to Dulumbe Primary School.
In 2007, the Department of Education built two classrooms for the school, which had 180 learners in that academic year, and fenced the area. The AmaNgcolosi Community Trust has now added five more modern classrooms. The trust has not only built classrooms for the school but has also handed over water projects, cattle dips and electricity projects to the community.
This initiative is in line with the ANC's policy of eliminating disparities in education and will therefore help to alleviate the plight of pupils who have been learning under difficult conditions in a two-roomed building on a farm. The ANC encourages such partnerships geared at bringing about a better life for all.
Phambili kuma-community trust anjengalawa, phambili! [Forward with community trusts like those, forward!]
HON MEMBERS: Phambili! [Kwaqhwatywa.] [Forward! [Applause.]]
