MWPF Rebuilds School in Lusikisiki
In 2012 Mineworkers Provident Fund, started an initiative called the MWPF Golf Day, aimed at raising funds for the underprivileged. Mr. Nduva, the principal of Thembalethu Senior Primary in Lusikisiki, approached MWPF for funding, the request came at the perfect time as MWPF was in the process of finding a worthy cause to benefit from the MWPF Golf Day. Mr. Nduva went on to explain, that the school is a terrible mess, the class rooms were dilapidated, and they were teaching from outside, and that he had approached many other companies prior to trying his luck with Mineworkers Provident Fund. We took on the project to rebuild the school in 2017, and launched it on 06 December, the school now consist of four building, a security room, dining hall, computer room, and has electricity. Mineworkers have left 600 students beaming with joy.
