TRAC cares for children’s education
Given the excellent reputation the school cemented over the years the demand for placements increased steadily and this eventually prompted TRAC to upgrade the facility to double its initial size.
MATSULU – It was a great day marked with laughter, tears of joy and of course aspirations for a better tomorrow for the learners of and educators of Little Angel School when their newly revamped and upgraded school was officially handed over to them on June 7, courtesy of the Trans African Concession (TRAC) N4 Toll Route.
The school was established 15 years ago as one of TRAC’s Corporate Social Investment priorities.
It is an English medium school with 145 learners from grade 00 to grade three. The initial school building was made up of four classrooms which over the years severely restricted the number of enrolments.

Being a foundation phase institution TRAC felt it imperative to make the structure aesthetically child-friendly and also contracted well-known Lowveld artist, Ghost, to do wall designs on the outside of the main school building,” explained Ms Solange Soares-Nicholson the company’s communication manager.

“It is with great pride and admiration that I walked through this school today. I saw it when it was initially built and I am astounded with the progress before my eyes,” said Esterhuysen.
“Such could never be achieved without the passion and commitment of the staff at this school who every day give their all to secure a prosperous future for the children they serve.
It is due to the dedication of those who run and make use of this facility that TRAC will continue to back it.
As the concessionaire of the Maputo Corridor we pride ourselves on being part of this success story and will continue to support it as an investment to the future,” concluded Esterhuysen.
