Mandela Park Primary School - Sod Turning - ArcelorMittal

ArcelorMittal is known world-wide as a very successful steel company. One of the richest men in the world (rated by Forebs) owns the company, his name - Lakshmi Mittal.

ArcelorMittal is sponsoring a complete school which they plan on building and furnishing. The school is to be built in a location in Mthatha. I had the honour of photographing this noted moment in time where it was the Sod-Turning at the existing school. People who attended the Sod Turning were the likes of Mlawuli Manjingolo - (Head of Legal, Compliance & Company Secretarial Services at ArcelorMittal, South Africa), Mrs Angie Motshekga (Minister of Basic Education).

Below I have a few pictures from the day

 

 

I'll do a update on the schools progress when I get invited back to photograph the school as they build.
