From grey and drab to colourful and inviting, Nelson Mandela University’s Human Movement Science and Architecture Departments, together with Mandela University alumnus and architect Jacques Theron, have completed enhancements to a playground and ablution facility at two schools in Gqeberha.
Through the KaziPlay project, pupils at Machiu Primary School in Bethelsdorp got a new jungle gym aimed at developing essential motor skills, while Mzimhlophe Primary School in Zwide had major renovations to ablution facilities used by both pupils and teachers.
The playground and facilities were officially opened and handed over to the schools on Wednesday.
KaziPlay is part of a 10-year collaboration between Nelson Mandela University and the University of Basel in Switzerland.
