The building of this school incorporated “water-wise” features which include the installation of borehole facilities and a tank farm; water-wise sanitary fittings; and a water restrictor on the water main line.
The project has made use of labour-intensive methods which provided a limited number of short-term work opportunities for local people as well as skills training. A total of R4 million was spent on local labour.
