Durban – An uMhlanga primary school has been promised a donation worth millions from an American property developer to help fund the development of a high school campus.

 

Officially opened in 2003, uMhlanga College was built to accommodate pre-school and primary school boys and girls.

Robert Muir would donate about R15 million to the school for the building of the first phase of the five-year project, said headmaster Greg Brooks.

The first phase is due to be completed in time for the 2013 academic year, with classrooms to accommodate Grade 8s, a science laboratory and a cricket oval as part of the project.
