Learners from Itumeleng Secondary School and Tswaidi High School in Ledig can breathe a sigh of relief thanks to the recent donation from Sun City Resort.In 2023,
Sun City did a site visit to Itumeleng Secondary School and Tswaidi High School and identified a critical need for improved ablution facilities at these schools, said Sun City’s SED and Community Engagement Manager Tebogo Mokgejane.
Both schools experience high learner numbers every year, leading to insufficient toilet facilities which impacts hygiene, health, and the overall learning environment. Due to financial limitations, neither of these public schools could afford to construct additional ablution facilities because they are a no-fee-paying schools and based in one of the local disadvantaged villages in the area.
Mokgejane said as part of Sun City’s commitment to improving education and community development, in 2024 they allocated funds to build modern, durable, and hygienic ablution facilities for both schools, a female and a male block per school.The building of the facilities carried out by local women-owned business and construction was completed in November 2024. Both school ablution facilities are fitted with basins, mirrors, five toilets and three urinals in the male section, and seven toilets for the females, plus a paraplegic toilet.
“I would like to thank everyone, Sun City, the learners, teachers, and the SGB because the ablution facilities have remained in the same excellent condition since last November,” said Itumeleng Secondary School principal, Johannes Semenya. “We, as a school, promise no graffiti and no vandalism. We are committed to raising the bar, aiming for a 99-100% pass rate.
