Kwatsaduza – Mamellong Nqabeni Secondary School, formerly known as Brakpan Bantu High School, was established in 1942 to cater for African learners.
The school was the second operating school in the East Rand for black learners.
The class of 1977 is calling on former classmates for the upcoming biggest and grandest reunion, which will take place in February 2020.
Organiser Mashane Mokoena says they are preparing for the upcoming event and would appreciate it if the entire class of 1977 would attend.
