“Water is life and having access to clean drinking water is very important. But it is also imperative that we preserve water; as it is a very scarce resource. The Durban ICC is committed to community upliftment and ensuring that youth, who are the future leaders of our country, are empowered and have access to services,” she said.
Mathe thanked Durban ICC and the Robin Hood Foundation for the donation saying the rainwater harvesting system will ensure that the school, which has 677 learners, always has water supply.
