Nkonyeni announced this while delivering the Legislature Budget at the Provincial legislature yesterday.

During the opening of the schools members of the provincial legislature visit various schools throughout the province as part of their oversight exercises and it is during these visits that they come across schools that have no maths and science laboratories.

The Speakership’s social responsibility programme, is a public participation program in which the legislature partners with the provincial government and private sector to provide much needed service.

“Since 2009, the programme has evolved through different projects including Science Kits Projects which has to date benefitted 210 schools throughout the Province of KwaZulu-Natal,” said Nkonyeni.

Nkonyeni added that over 6000 school children benefitted from her office’s social responsibility programmes.

“For them going to school now is a pleasure as they look like any other kid at school. This programme has seen the staff Members and of the Legislature join hands with the Speaker and adopted children from deserving communities and supported them with uniforms.” said Nkonyeni.
