“Our school has received an incredible gift of 70 trees each, from two generous sponsors, giving us a total of 140 trees. This gesture symbolises our dedication to a greener future,” he said.
The learners were reminded of the importance of trees, which provide shade, oxygen and beauty.
“These trees are more than just plants; they represent our commitment to a better world for generations to come. Our school’s 70th birthday is made memorable by planting 70 trees on campus and 70 in our community – a living legacy of our unity and growth,” said Sibonginkosi.
He said they are not only planting but also investing in a future where cleaner air and natural beauty prevail.
