Information Technology revolution for south Durban schools

Nine high schools from the Durban south region received 54 brand new computers which were jointly bought by SAPREF and Shell Chemicals at a cost of R237 000.

KZN MEC for Education, Ina Cronje, graced the event last Friday as she officially handed over the computers to the schools in Isipingo, Wentworth and Merebank. The recipient schools were Isipingo Secondary, Strelitzia Secondary and Reunion Secondary in Isipingo; Merebank Secondary, PR Pather Secondary and Ganges Secondary in Merebank; and Wentworth Secondary, Fairvale Secondary and Umbilo Secondary in Wentworth.
