The need for a donation towards the computer lab was established in 2023 when DTSA visited the school to hand over Mathematics and English handbooks and study guides to learners and teachers.

This year, employees of DTSA also got involved with the initiative through the company’s Employee Volunteer Programme by helping to repaint the classroom and setting up computer equipment. DTSA remains a committed partner to Phelindaba MSI SOS and will continue to actively seek opportunities to support the school and learners in future.

Phelindaba MSI SOS is a no-fee, public high school, specialising in Maths, Science and ICT. They currently have 1 526 learners enrolled, and apart from government funding, they mostly rely on sponsorships and donations to maintain quality education for their learners.

“Last year, we communicated our need for computers for our computer lab to DTSA, and we are extremely thankful for the company for taking this request to heart. Little over a year later, the brand-new computer lab was opened for our learners, and we are confident that it will enhance the educational experience for our learners and teachers and equip them with much needed computer skills,” says Simon Tsotetsi, Principal of the School (main photo).

“Education is a fundamental human right and the pathway to a brighter future in South Africa. We live in a digital era, but the reality is that many schools in South Africa are still lacking basic educational material let alone computers.

“Last year, we donated handbooks and study guides to learners of Phelindaba MSI SOS and this year we shifted our focus to the donation of a computer lab for the school as we believe that computers offer many benefits to learners and teachers and ensure that essential computer literacy skills are acquired in preparation for tertiary education and the workplace one day,” says Maretha Gerber, President and Group CEO, Daimler Truck Southern Africa (main photo).
