|

|
Rustenburg was able to donate a piano to a Primary School in Old Crossroads, Iqingqa Mtwana, as a direct result of a generous donation from the Panton family, who donated a good quality Yamaha piano to the school.
Former student teacher at Rustenburg, Nomsa Mpofu, who also went to a township school in her day, together with some of her UCT music student peers are teaching music at Iqingqa Mtwana after school hours, as a way of giving back to the community.
