Umkhathizwe Primary School was given the good news that their proposal to establish a library had been accepted in November 2020.  During the period of the December school holidays, the team of builders set out to convert two unused classrooms into a space suitable to establish a state-of-the-art library.

The backroom team continued with the work of ensuring books were covered and catalogued, reading programme materials were prepared and supplementary equipment was sourced from the service providers.

The library resource centre was ready for handover by Mid-February, while the country was still on adjusted level three lockdown. The trustees believe resolutely that children should not be deprived of books, so the Trust had a handover without the necessary "bells and whistles". It was thus decided to give the learners a back-to-school gift on 23 February 2021.

The small group of guests from the school and local District office assembled to receive the keys to a beautiful centre, which will bring joy to present and future learners in the community of Thokoza.
