Two grade nine boys, Luthano Sithole and Sphetho Mncube attended the Eskom Science Expo for young scientists on 7 August 2018 at Sisizakele Special School. Their project fell under ‘Innovation and Technology’ and they won 1st place. It is a phenomenal achievement as there was 194 projects of which only 4 received gold medals. They also made the shortlist for the ISF International Science fair that will take part in Johannesburg in October. It is amazing to see how our youth are able to help the poorest of the country with their water-and-electricity-efficient home.
