Thembisa school gets upgrade in new initiative
The Attacq Foundation announced its latest initiative – Building Brilliance Block by Block.
It is a classroom renovation campaign that will improve learning conditions for over 400 learners at Phuthumani Primary School in Thembisa.
Driven by its core vision of transforming communities through investment in education, training, essential goods and economic development, Attacq does more than fund infrastructure upgrades. It lays the foundation for a more inclusive, educated and empowered SA.

'Bright minds deserve bright spaces,' said Danny Vermeulen, the spokesperson for the Attacq Foundation.
'Renovating classrooms creates environments where learners thrive and communities grow. It's more than infrastructure; it's inspiration.'
The foundation calls on the private sector and the public to partner in the initiative through structured sponsorship tiers that allow contributors to become active participants in this transformation block by block.
'This campaign aligns with Attacq's strategic pillar of 'thriving communities',' said Vermeulen.
'We're not just donors; we're co-creators of sustainable change. When a school strengthens, the entire community thrives.'
In March, the Department of Basic Education told the National Council of Provinces that SA faced a severe infrastructure backlog in public schools, with more than 8 200 schools requiring additional classrooms.

These deficits pose daily challenges and safety risks to learners, highlighting the urgency of initiatives like Building Brilliance Block by Block.
'This is about more than bricks and mortar; it's about restoring dignity, enabling opportunity and creating environments where children can flourish,' added Vermeulen.
'This is a shared call to reimagine what education looks like when purpose meets partnership.
'We invite businesses with a vision for long-term impact to become building partners and co-creators of change. Your investment isn't just a donation; it's a commitment to shaping the future of education.'
Every contribution forms part of a bigger blueprint for change. By supporting this campaign, stakeholders promote academic excellence, community upliftment and social progress.
Together, we can strengthen the foundation on which brighter futures are built – raise the standard for what every child deserves – a space to grow, learn and shine.
