Eight schools in Katlehong were the lucky winners of the Cashbuild Art-at-Heart competition.<\/p>\n

The schools will each receive a Cashbuild building material voucher to the value of R15 000 which means the schools will now be able to both improve and repair their premises.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The vouchers were handed out to all the schools at the Art-at-Heart ceremony at the new Cashbuild in Sam Ntuli Mall store on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Thembalethu Primary School and Matsediso Primary School are just two of the eight schools that will each receive a Cashbuild building material voucher.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

Sibongile Monaheng, the principal of Thembalethu Primary School, said they are grateful to Cashbuild for the voucher.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a big project to re-tile all the classrooms and repair some of the ceilings, so with this voucher I am glad we will be able to kick-start the process.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will now be able to purchase the tiles and any other materials we will require,\u201d Monaheng said.<\/p>\n

Matsediso Primary School\u2019s principal, Abel Masha, said, \u201cWith this voucher we will be building a well-equipped play area for our 57 pre-school learners.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the moment, the play area is sandy, has run-down play equipment and is on the other side of the school grounds.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow we are able to fence the area and add some new items which will help the learners with their outdoor learning experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Cashbuild Art-at-Heart competition entails learners from each school submitting their best artwork to Cashbuild.<\/p>\n

This artwork is displayed at the ceremony and remains on display in the Cashbuild store for the next six years.<\/p>\n

Artwork will be judged and three winners from each school will be named.<\/p>\n

Winners will receive Cashbuild Art-at-Heart gold, silver and bronze certificates for first, second and third place respectively.<\/p>\n

The Manager\u2019s Choice award will also be presented to the overall winner of the artwork competition.<\/p>\n

The schools that benefited from the Cashbuild Art-at-Heart donations were: Kwanele Primary School, Thembalethu Primary School, Matsediso Primary School, Mutingati Primary School, Umzamo Primary School, Lungisani Primary School, Chivirikani Primary School and Nqubela Primary School.<\/p>\n

Since the Art-at-Heart campaign was launched 19 years ago, Cashbuild has helped more than 3 500 schools in Southern Africa with over R44-million worth of building materials.<\/p>\n

Cashbuild is BEE compliant and every time a store is opened, relocated or refurbished, Cashbuild not only makes donations to local schools, but also creates jobs for community members.<\/p>\n

The Art-at-Heart competition is a Southern African Cashbuild initiative whereby donations are made to some of the region\u2019s most needy schools.<\/p>\n
