In a commitment to support education, uMkhanyakude District Municipality Mayor, Cllr Siphile Mdaka, has donated R10 000 each to four local schools towards their 2026 Matric Boot Camp.
The beneficiary schools are Inkosi Lubelo High School, Inkosi Zombizwe High School, Inkosi Gamula High School and Qoshama Secondary School.
The handover took place on 12 September 2026 during the Nkungwini Water Project handover in Ward 18, Jozini.
The donation forms part of the Municipality's social responsibility programme aimed at improving matric results and investing in the future of learners in the district. This comes as the district excelled in the 2025 National Senior Certificate examinations, achieving 1st position in KwaZulu-Natal and 2nd position nationally.
"With only 29 days to go before the start of the final matric examinations, we hope this contribution will go a long way in assisting our learners to prepare and excel. We can only wish our learners well and pray for them. We hope they will continue to make us proud," said Mayor Mdaka.
