The Deputy Minister of Basic Education Dr Reginah Mhaule and Eastern Cape MEC Fundile Gade will through the Accelerated Schools Infrastructure Delivery Initiative (ASIDI), hand-over Nkululeko Ralo Primary School to the community of Mbuqe, Mthata in the Eastern Cape.

This state of-the art school has amenities which include a resource centre, science laboratory, multipurpose centre as well as a nutrition centres where learners are served nutritious meals daily. Built at a cost of R62 million, Nkululeko Ralo Primary School forms part of the 266 schools completed as part of the ASIDI project.

Much more than a story of brick and mortar, the ASIDI schools are helping to restore pride and renew ownership communities have in their schools. ASIDI continues to play a vital role in eradicating mud schools, and in so doing, bring back dignity to rural education.
