In a remarkable act of philanthropy, the Cotton On Foundation, along with the help of Nomzamo Mbatha, has undertaken the task of rebuilding and upgrading Dr JL Dube High School. This initiative marks the first major refurbishment of the school since its establishment in 1979.
A New Era of Education
Thanks to the efforts of the Cotton On Foundation and Nomzamo Mbatha, Dr JL Dube High School now boasts 42 new world-class classrooms. These classrooms are equipped with state-of-the-art computers and internet access, providing students with the tools they need to excel in the digital age.
Recognizing the importance of student support, the upgraded school also features counselling rooms and a pathways hub. Here, students can access well-being and leadership programs, ensuring their holistic development.
A Space for Creativity and Growth
But the improvements don’t stop there. Dr JL Dube High School now boasts a new multi-purpose field and indoor sports hall, providing students with the opportunity to engage in physical activities and explore their interests. Additionally, a performing arts hall has been added, offering a space for creativity and self-expression.
Nomzamo Mbatha, a talented actress, TV personality, and goodwill ambassador, is thrilled to be giving back to her community. Having grown up in Kwamashu, she understands the struggles faced by many in the area. Her journey from humble beginnings to success has inspired her to make a difference.
Reflecting on this achievement, Nomzamo said, “It has been three long years, and I am thankful for this very day. I always say I would like to live long enough to see the summit of my life. Little did I know that there are too many summits to witness, and this very one is only the beginning.” Nomzamo’s dedication to her community and her activism work continues to touch the hearts of people around the world.
