Mntimande Primary School

Principal: Mr Phakathi

Mntimande Primary School is located in the Madadeni Township and has been working with Project Zulu for many years. With over 1,500 learners enrolled across Grades R-7, aged 4-13 years, it is one of the largest primary schools in the Project Zulu partnership. Despite its relatively compact site, the school makes the most of its available space to support its large community of learners. 

Funds raised through the 2016 Choir Tour enabled the school to build an additional classroom, helping to create more space for teaching and learning. Following participation in the 2023 Choir Tour, the school is investing further in improvements to its facilities, helping to create additional space and resources for learners and staff. 

Mntimande is also home to Project Zulu Choir Coach Mr Phakathi and Assistant Choir Coach Mr Zungu. Since 2018, they have dedicated countless hours to auditioning, training and touring with Project Zulu choirs, supporting choir members to develop their confidence, share their talents and represent their schools on an international stage. 

We are proud to be working with Mntimande Primary School and grateful for the contribution its staff make to the wider Project Zulu partnership.
