Member of Parliament Yunus Carrim and Emnambithi/Ladysmith Speaker Zehra Rassool visited two local schools on Monday, January 16, to donate uniforms to several less fortunate learners.
The learners are from Esifubeni Junior Primary School in Watersmeet and Bhevu High School in Roosboom.
This initiative was co-ordinated by Emnambithi/Ladysmith Municipality’s Speakers Office as part of the ‘Back To School Campaign’.
The uniforms were presented to the delighted children by Speaker Zehra Rassool and Mr Yunus Carrim, who were accompanied by Emnambithi/Ladysmith Municipality councillors and members of local co-operatives.
Initiated in January this year, the ‘Back To School Campaign’ saw the construction of eight recently-completed prefab units in which learners will be housed during school sessions. Amazingly, these units were erected within a period of a month at Bhevu High School.
Learners and teachers are pleased with the speed of delivery and cannot wait to use their new facilities. Emnambithi/Ladysmith Municipality intends to continue working with schools and to extend this working relationship to identify other areas that need assistance.
