Adams Mission’s new classrooms, library

PRESIDENT Jacob Zuma will today officially open the newly built classes and a library at Adams College in eManzintoti on the KwaZulu-Natal south coast.

Zuma last year officiated at the sodturning ceremony of the construction of the classes and library to realign the renowned learning institute on its 10-year vision to revitalise, redevelop and reposition Adams College as a premier institution for future generations.

The school counts among its alumni such luminaries such as Dr John Langalibalele Dube; Chief Albert Luthuli (former president of the ANC); former president of Uganda, Milton Obote; Sir Seretse Khama, former president of Botswana; as well as former AU Commission chairperson Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma; and Inkatha Freedom Party president Inkosi Mangosuthu Buthelezi.
