It is also located in the Free State and serves the needs of a working class mainly Coloured community. It was built 15 years ago, but the buildings have been vandalised and burgled, requiring the SGB to earmark a major portion of its budget for repairs and security and to replace equipment. The school is close to heavy industries with concomitant problems of noise and air pollution that impact on teaching and learning. It is situated in a Western Cape suburb of predominantly working class families. Many parents are unionised workers, aware of their democratic rights and obligations, and actively involved in school matters.
Enrolment remains predominantly Coloured.
Of the four schools, Mzomuhle Secondary is the most disadvantaged. This negatively impacts on the SGB's capacity to maintain the school and improve the quality of teaching and learning. The 460 learners are racially and ethnically homogenous. By the end of 1997 SGBs were established in all four schools and representatives were elected. The racial composition of the governing bodies is remarkably similar in that they are almost racially homogenous even though three of the schools have mixed learner populations.
