Arrowhead Properties, owners of Mall@theJunction in Rosettenville, co-sponsored and coordinated the initiative to assist learners in safely returning to school.
This follows reports that Rosettenville Central Primary School was unable to effectively open to all the grades due to the lack of personal protection equipment (PPE).
On August 14, staff from the donors came together to finalise the painting of the murals in the entrance and ablutions, sprucing up the sick bay and laying out safe sand in the playground of Rosetttenville Central Primary School.
The donors also handed over PPE consisting of masks for the teachers and learners, sanitiser dispensers and liquid refills, first aid box, Covid-19 safety posters, toilet roll holders, sanibins, soap dispensers and soap.
Prior to the handover, Industrial Decorating Services had replaced the broken toilets and washbasins, resolved plumbing challenges, and painted the ablutions and playground.
TC&HS had installed hygiene equipment and FireBrand completed quality checks on the fire equipment.
