Mr B Kwayiyo
Lydenburg is a town in Thaba Chweu Local Municipality, Mpumalanga, South Africa. Alternatively known as Mashishing, Lydenburg is situated on the Sterkspruit/Dorps River tributary of the Lepelle River at the base of the Long Tom Pass.
The name is derived from the Dutch Lijdenburg, or “Town of Suffering”. Lydenburg has become the centre for the South African fly-fishing industry and is an agricultural and mining hub. Lydenburg is 94km from the Central Office in Nelspruit.
The Campus was officially launched as a fully-fledged Campus on 4 October 2019 following a donation of R8m from Glencore Lydenburg Smelter to convert dilapidated and unutilised Public Works buildings into a fully equipped educational centre with state of the art classrooms and offices. The Campus’ first intake was 290 students from Mashishing and the surrounding areas. The head count enrolment for 2020 stands at 699!
