Hanyani High School

On Friday last week the SAJBD, in collaboration with the University of Johannesburg (UJ), officially opened the Nga Tshumisano (Let’s Work Together in Tshivenda) a fully equipped education centre with uncapped Wi-Fi, computers (donated by Investec) and resource books (donated by the SA Jewish community).

The school is in the remote Vhemba region and has been adopted by UJ, who has provided the area with solar power, boreholes and a creche. The headmaster, Thifhelimbilu Ndou, thanked the SAJBD, and UJ, saying that the access through a connected computer network would bring the school into the 21st century, allowing access to the internet.
