A lot happens at Lanbou in a week; besides the everyday teaching and learning, our learners had an opportunity to learn about pregnancy testing in cows, not just theoretically, but they tested the cows themselves. They were so excited and had so much fun doing it. A big thank you to Mr Laubcher Theron, the veterinarian surgent who has been very patient and helpful in guiding our learners through the process.

Vryheid Landbou is known for being home to many students and staff; those who work there and live there can attest to this. Landbou welcomed five new members of staff this year. Zwiwe Dlamini as the new administrator in reception, Mandla Mwandla, and Lizwe Maziya as Educators. Also, Njabulo Zulu as a Junior Farm Manager and Barbara Berry as the new matron for the hostel. We wish them a long and happy stay at Landbou. The school also welcomed a new SGB team led by Mr A Khumalo as the Chairperson, Mr G Minott as the Vice-Chairperson, Mrs S Radebe as the Secretary, and Ms M Mbatha as the Treasurer for the next three years. Applications are currently open, and all forms are available on the school’s webpage or at the Vryheid Landbou office.

To say he will be greatly missed,…
