We recently launched the Nomahlubi Mpondwana Scholarship at Sada Higher Primary School, in
Whittlesea. The scholarship was founded by Zintle, Bhongolethu and Nangamso
Koza. It was established in 2011, and caters
for learners and university students who excel academically, and in need of
financial assistance to enable them to further their studies.
We have one journalism student that we co-support at Rhodes University. Sada Higher Primary schools was chosen because
it was established by the benefactors’ grandfather, the late Thomas Mthimkhulu
Mpondwana, in 1968. It is also where their late uncle, Dennis Vulindlela
Mpondwana, and their mother, Nomahlubi Mpondwana studied. The nine lucky learners
were selected by the school as the most deserving of the prize. They received
new school shoes and socks, with their winter school uniform getting ready to
be delivered. The donations were presented by Ms Nangamso Koza at the school.
“We have always wanted to give back home. We were raised by
the Whittlesea community. We can longer remain silent while our siblings
suffer. It’s what Ta’mkhulu would have wanted. There was no
better place to launch the scholarship than his favourite school” said Koza.
“We feel very honoured that Inqubela Foundation has chosen
our school to receive such gifts. We can never have enough words to say thank
you” said Mr. Luthando Mgolodela, the school’s principal.
Sada Higher Primary School is set from various developmental
programmes that we offer. We are looking forward to the beginning of what will
be a life-changing journey.

This school is in the Eastern Cape and we know how the Eastern cape suffers in terms of it's socio-economic status. Many of the professionals that leave impuma-koloni walk, and they keep on walking never looking back. It is sad but true. I know that if every professional in the country coming from the Eastern Cape would do what Nanga is doing, we could raise the province to another level. I hope that people are reading this and are touched and moved to go home and see what our little brothers and sisters need and act towards not only giving but inspiring greatness in the kids.
