CAPE TOWN - Manenberg's private school, The Leadership College, will have a new home soon.

It comes as the City of Cape Town's mayoral committee recommended the sale of city-owned land in Manenberg for the school’s redevelopment.
 
It's understood that the school's management approached the municipality to help it identify a suitable site, as it must vacate its current premises built on privately owned land.

The school, which specialises in maths and science, provides tuition, stationery, and uniforms to its 200 primary and high school pupils at no cost. 
 
Despite the suburb's socio-economic challenges, the school has consistently delivered great results, with 2024's matric class achieving an overall pass rate of 93.2%.

Mayco Member for Economic Growth James Vos said, "I'm excited to share that this property transaction is the first of its kind and we've done everything possible to make it happen. 

“By unlocking land value for this school, we are supporting a wonderful cause that will continue to make a lasting impact."
