GUEST – Patilizwe “Pat” Mdoda – Businessman
Retired businessman, Patilizwe “Pat” Mdoda, says that although his children went to prominent schools in the Gauteng province, it has always been his dream to build a school on a par with those, in terms of infrastructure, in his home village of Ncembu in Tsolo. Mdoda, through the Mdoda Family Trust, has made his dream a reality, by building a state-of-the-art Early Childhood Development (ECD) Centre adjacent to Ncembu Primary School as a gift to his community. The facility, named Ncembu Early Childhood Development Centre, will be officially opened as part of the international Nelson Mandela Day celebrations on July 18. Ncembu Primary School, then classified as
a Junior Secondary School, is the same school where Mdoda was a learner from Standard 3 to 6 [Grades 5 to 8] while it was still made up of rondavel mud huts.
