Siyabulela Primary School is situated in Langa, a black impoverished township in the Western Cape about 15 km from the Cape Town city centre. The school community is a disadvantage community. About 70% of the people live below poverty line because they are virtually unemployed. They have to contend with rampant crime almost everyday. despite all these hardships the community is very committed in education and development of its children. There are very sound relations between the community and the teachers and cooperation amongst all stakeholders is very evident.
The school was established in 1980 with 10 teachers and about 600 learners. The school has grown tremendously with 25 educators, 5 non-educators and about 846 learners. The school offers different kinds of sport including soccer, rugby, athletics, cricket as well as music. With those sport codes, the school does not have proper fields especially soccer, rugby, athletics as well as cricket. We do have an open space at the back of the school which was a field before sharing with Langa High School.
The school excels in all sporting codes especially rugby and volleyball. our school has many rugby teams, starting from under 7 to under 13 both boys and girls. We are proud to tell you that each and every year we have one or two boys represent the school in the Western Province under 12 and 13 teams. We also took part in the annual under 12 touch rugby team which was organised by Norwich in Waterfront. The school recently took part in the launch of DHL Stormers new sponsor which was held in V&A Waterfront, where under 12 five a side touch rugby team won the tournament.
