Makhathini Primary School was a project launched by the Mpumalanga Department of Education in 2012.  We have since been graded as a Quintile 4 school. We are the first ever English - Afrikaans school in Mhluzi township in Middelburg. Makhathini Primary School started with 5 learners and we currently have 680 learners ranging from Grade RR to Grade 7. Sports activities consist of soccer, cross country, netball and athletics. The Grade 7 learners of 2016 made Makhathini history when the Head girl wrote the school song and together with the Head boy led the first learner Representative Council.

School Song History: After    being    established    in    2012    as    an    English    medium    school, Makhathini   Primary   school   was   growing   and   in   2015   began   to   show signs of developing it’s own culture. In   order   to   enhance   this   positive   development   of   the   school,   the headmaster,   Mr.   Hanroux   Hugo,   expressed   the   need   for   a   school song. Mr.   Wim   Fourie,   the   first   choirmaster,   encouraged   the   learners   to write their own school song… A     talented     young     learner     in     grade     6,     Samukeliswe     Buthelezi, produced an almost perfect version. After   the   necessary   language   and   musical   editing   by   Mr.   Fourie,   a school song was born. On   the   20th   November   2015   the   song   was   officially   handed   to   the school   by   Samukelisiwe   Buthelezi,   the   same   day   the   school’s   first representative council of learners was appointed.

School Song A praise poem for Makhathini Primary School Let us hold hands all learners together proudly a nation in the land of the sun. Even as children we are building our school with love and respect, singing our song: Chorus: Nkosi sikelela isikol sethu Nksoi sikelela nezwe lethu. Nkosi sikelela isikol sethu Nkosi sikelela nezwe lethu. Masakhane we claim, will take us to be a school at the top of the primary league. Ons is gebore as leiers vir more, MAKHATHINI LET’S SING…. Repeat chorus and end.
