Lead SA Mandela Day Schools Project

PRESENTERS: 702 Talk Radio and 94.7 Highveld Stereo

1. John Robbie: Greenfields Primary

This school did not have a school hall of any sort and John put out a call for an architect to assist. Clarence Kachipande from Lafarge Industries South Africa is going to be the project manager for the construction of a brand new multi-purpose school hall.

Building materials and various other contractors’ skills are still required.

Email madibaschools@702.co.za with your suggestions

2. Redi Tlhabi: Batsogile Primary School

Hall: faulty roller shutter door – needs to be replaced for use to divide the room, or at the very least removed altogether as it is a danger to the children (could fall on them);

Toilet area: Structure of the building needs construction work (crumbling walls)

Toilet doors are faulty

Plumbing issues: toilets always ‘blocked’

They would really like a separate facility for senior girls/boys and teachers. (currently shared with small kids)
