Water borehole for Namo Primary School in Hammanskraal
Namo Primary School in Hammanskraal received a donation of a water borehole on Mandela Day.
The gift was from Drill Direct in partnership with Pretoria News. They selected two disadvantaged schools to receive fully installed water boreholes.
The companies said they had been looking for schools with good management and who would take care of the boreholes for many years.
Tshwane North district director Thea Coetser said the Hammanskraal area had a lot of challenges in terms of getting water, not only in schools, but to households as well.
“There is water pressure from the City of Tshwane and the pressure is low. When it comes out of the taps it drips and sometimes it happens that there is no water for hours. As a department we already had systems in place with the pandemic to have water tanks at the school,” Coetser said.
