The Department of Communications and Digital Technologies (DCDT), in partnership with Telkom Foundation, have donated a state-of-the-art ICT Cyber Laboratory to Nyanga High School in Ngcobo.

The facility was officially handed over to the school on October 13, by Communications and Digital Technologies minister, Mondli Gungubele.

The ICT Cyber Laboratory is an initiative of Telkom Foundation’s Connected Schools Programme which is aimed at empowering learners, teachers and young people in rural areas with digital skills and devices to propel them to excel in an increasingly technological world.

Gungubele said, 

The idea behind the Cyber Lab is for schools within the Nyanga High School radius to benefit from it. It is also part of digital transformation, aimed at ensuring that we enhance connectivity, because the sooner our children are literate and digitally capable, the readier they will be to be part of the digital era in the whole world.

He further said that his department’s partnership with Telkom would see more cyber laboratories being donated to more rural schools.
