VIDEO: Looking for somewhere to help this Mandela Day?
With all sorts of charities looking for help, one teacher suggests the best way to offer your help this Mandela Day is by supporting an educational institution.
MEHRUNNISSA Mullah suggests you consider helping out Phambili High School this Mandela Day.
Phambili High School was established in Durban Cross Street by the civil organisations under the leadership of the late Mam’Florence and Fatima Meer in 1987 with the objective of assisting learners who were the victims of the Apartheid government system.
The school operated as a private school, funded by NGO’s like UNESCO with the assistance of the ANC, from 1987 up until 1994 when the country was liberated.

The school started as a finishing school but had then transformed to be a high school offering tuition from grade 8 to 12.
The school then developed into two campuses and had relocated to be Mayville and Rossburgh campuses.
The closure of the Mayville campus led to the existing premises as the only registered Phambili High School at Rossburgh Seaview 244 Sarnia road.
The school got fully incorporated as a public school in 1997.

“This video was made a while ago so there has been some progress,” said Mullah who keeps those who help informed by updating a facebook album with all the developments as they occur.

“I believe that education should take priority when it comes to charity so that we give hand-ups and uplift rather than dishing out charity and creating a cycle of people merely dependant on handouts,” said Mullah, an educator at the school keen to see Individuals or businesses assisting in whatever way they can to help the school achieve all it has set out to do in the lives of the young people who attend it.
