Qoyintaba Library

Along the majestic KwaZulu-Natal tree plantations that stretch for kilometre after kilometre, a dirt road eventually leads you to the hidden yet welcoming farming community of Masamini, which is where Qoyintaba Primary School is found.

Qoyintaba is the name of one of the ancestors of the Mbanjwa family, the owners of Masamini farm. In Zulu, “Qoyintaba” means “mountain climbing”.

On 2 May 2013, the 27th Mandela Day container library opening took place. This is the second library by the Participate for Good Joberg2C campaign. The library is sponsored six motorbike riders: Herman, Basil, Henry, Andre, Kevin and Aldo.
