Ms Rejoice Mabudafhasi, MP, the Deputy Minister of Water and Environmental Affairs will hand over a media classroom sponsored by MTN Foundation to Imbubu Primary School on Thursday, 17 October 2013, in Sweetwaters, Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal.
A group of learners from Imbubu Primary School put Pietermaritzburg on the national map when they emerged victorious at the Baswa Le Meetse (BLM) competitions in the Drama category during the annual South African Youth Water Summit.
Baswa Le Meetse is one of the projects of the 2020 Vision Programme aimed at educating learners about water resource management and promotion of water sector careers to address the scarce skills challenge. Through this programme learners will be able to transfer the knowledge and skills to their families and communities and ultimately efficient use and protection of natural resource will be instilled and also that learners will choose water sector careers.
The state of the art media classroom sponsored by MTN Foundation is equipped with 21 computers, data projector, multifunctional printer, two modems, two data cards and R1000 internet subsidy for twenty four months. Other prizes include R6000, trophy and a certificate.
Learners are the best educators and they are able to change the mind set of their families and the entire community.
