The event was attended by daughter to Mama Mafuyana, Thandi Nkomo and the construction of the school would be funded by Mr Isaac Levy, son to the late business tycoon, Mr Sam Levy.

Cde Thandi Nkomo chronicled the life they went through during the liberation struggle when the family spent most of their time with their mother, while their father was fighting the Smith regime.
