The history

Phambanisa Primary School was founded in 1975, a year that marked the beginning of a journey toward educational excellence and community service. The school was named in honor of the late Chief Phambanisa Ngomane, son of Chief Lugedlane Ngomane, both of whom were highly respected leaders in our community. Their vision and commitment to the welfare of their people laid the foundation for what would become a beacon of learning and growth in our area.

Chief Lugedlane Ngomane(father), was a significant figure in our history, revered for his wisdom and guidance. Chief Phambanisa Ngomane was also known for his dedication to education and unwavering support for community development. He believed that education was the key to a brighter future and worked tirelessly to ensure that his people had access to quality educational opportunities.To honour both these leaders, naming our school after Chief Phambanisa Ngomane, we pay tribute to their legacy and continual mission of uplifting the community through education.
