Pirates launch learning centre

Oct 23, 2012 | Ramatsiyi Moholoa | 19 comments

ORLANDO Pirates have formed a partnership with the government and a top information technology company to promote community cohesion, education and lifelong learning.

 This is our contribution to improve education and ensure we produce bright future leaders. We plan to expand the centres in other parts of the country. 

Speaking at the launch in Orlando last week, chairman Irvin Khoza commended the department of basic education and the club's information technology partner Acer for helping make this initiative a success.

The Orlando Pirates Learning Centre, at Orlando Stadium, is designed to improve children's numeracy and literacy skills.

"This initiative adds to Orlando Pirates' long-standing tradition of community development," said Khoza. "This is our contribution to improve education and ensure we produce bright future leaders. We plan to expand the centres in other parts of the country."

The centre will also provide children with supplementary lessons for their school curriculum from 2013 with a focus on maths, science and English.

Charity begins at home, you are dead right he must do that as in yesterday, we are tired of Orlando thugs for so many years, he must have a space for thurgerism mentality change and stop drug abuse.
At Chiefs tthey are so educated, they need no more than what they have, and i edge the Chiefs Family not to intertain negative comments from FireCrackers, just ignore them, for the Dr withought any exams but a Dr. Good luck, it is a good thing that you do for Orland Thugs.

@Largos
You wanted to say Sundonosa fans who are now wanted by police. The ghosts only show their unhappiness and disadisfaction and the PSL undestand that. Organize some of the Seweles to attend this programme,it is good for them. As for sundonasas, please stay away, we do not want police to come and disrupt the us good people while learning.

I have to congrats the Rodents chairman for doing this, pie-rats supporters are scary and when they are angry trust me no one wants to be next to them.Bennie is an example for this, hope this learning environment will help them to deal with their anger.While their chairman is busy with this,what is happening with their case?

is it under the carpet?
