The pit latrines at Winnie Mandela Comprehensive School in Ngutyana village, situated in the KwaKhanyayo area on the outskirts of Mbizana, Eastern Cape, are an eyesore.The school is in the same district where five-year-old Lumka Mkhethwa drowned in a pit latrine at Luna Junior Secondary School, also in Mbizana, last year.Not at Winnie Mandela Comprehensive School, where the toilets are so bad that pupils opt to relieve themselves in the bushes.
The high school, which is not far from the village of Mbhongweni, where Madikizela-Mandela was born, has no electricity. The school’s dejected principal, Goodman Cele, says pleas for help have gone unanswered. He tells City Press that the community built the school from scratch.Pit latrines at the Winnie Mandela Comprehensive School in Mbiza have no doors.
The school has 367 pupils and 20 teachers, including two who are employed by the school governing body . Classes cater for Grades 8 to 12.Cele believes that if the basics were provided – namely, proper classrooms, a library, a computer room and a well-equipped science laboratory – the school could achieve even better results.
“Whichever way you look at our situation, the conditions are just not favourable. We would like government to fix the roads and supply us with electricity and water.”
BuppieStyle Where's this School 🚸? 🤔
The Eastern Cape ANC government officials are the worst enemy of the people. They are driving expensive vehicles but dololo services!

DESPERATE, We have to invoke section 37.2 of the EFF FOUNDING MANIFESTO
Meaning the party only cares about their stalwarts when they host gala dinners and election campaign, if I were to name a building after my hero I'd take good care of it's maintenance, upgrades etc
It points to the politics of the stomach in the “so-called home of legends “. Eastern Cape🚮🚮🚮
How fitting. Braking things down is easu. Building it up takes wisdom, hard work and dedication.
