President Zuma to officiate at Adams College

PRESIDENT Jacob Zuma will make an appearance in the greater Amanzimtoti area this afternoon, Thursday, 28 September to officially open Adams College’s classes and library in Adams Mission.

The college is known as one of the country’s first training institutions where Africans could attain an education and skills during apartheid.

In 2016, Zuma officiated at the sod turning ceremony for the construction of the classes and library to realign the renowned learning institute on its 10-year vision to revitalise, redevelop and reposition Adams College as a premier institution for future generations.

Adams College was one of the first few training institutions in South Africa where Africans could attain a decent education and skills during the darkest period of the oppressive apartheid regime.

The school counts among its alumni, luminaries such as Dr John Langalibalele Dube, Chief Albert Luthuli (former presidents of the African National Congress), former president of Uganda, Milton Obote, former president of Botswana Sir Seretse Khama, as well as former AU Commission chairman Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma and Inkatha Freedom Party President Inkosi Mangosuthu Buthelezi.

The institution has produced many other celebrated professionals both in South Africa and the continent at large.
