The two handed over 50 chairs and 50 desks that would be used by the early childhood development (ECD) class.
The school had been failing to properly cater for the ECD class as children sat on the floor during lessons due to a lack of furniture.
Singo said as a parent, he felt touched when he saw children sitting on the floor during lessons.
“This is a government school, but is run by parents due to the situation our country faces,” he said.
“I wish parents could also donate and help the school out.”
Mkwananzi urged parents to help the school and urged businesspeople to also chip in.

“We hope parents will do the same and hope the little we have donated will be used in a proper manner and also call upon other businesspeople to contribute to the upgrading of learning facilities in our community,” he added.
