1993 // Msinga Top, KwaZulu-Natal
Two years into trading, Unicon built the classroom blocks and hall at Mawele High School in deep rural Msinga. The completed school was officially opened by President Nelson Mandela.
Our first years were spent on clinics, hospitals and schools for communities that had none — then on the reservoirs and water schemes that now make up the largest part of this portfolio. That order of priorities has not changed.
