The challenges of Vuyelani Primary School have been brought to our attention by the School Governing Body (SGB) which consists of Teachers and Parents.
Vuyelani Primary school has 750 Learners and 22 Teachers. This school has very limited infrastructure to house all its learners. The government has provided temporary infrastructure in the form of prefab classrooms which are not conducive during harsh weather conditions – refer to the picture below:
Upon completion the double classroom will look like the classrooms in the picture below:
Vuyelani Primary School is in a community called Lillydale B. This community is situated in the South-West of the Sabi Sand Nature Reserve. Lillydale B is an extension of two communities, Lilydale and Somerset, and has approximately 4,000 residents. This community has a high unemployed population. People in this community rely on finding employment on nearby farms and game lodges. Lillydale B is very hopeful for the future of their Children. Almost 100% of the children go to school and the community has one primary school and one high school.
