Lonrho Plc wins GBP10.2 million contract for school classrooms
in South Africa
Lonrho Plc is delighted to announce that its pre-fabricated
building division, Kwikbuild, has won contracts totalling 123
million Rand (GBP10.2 million) for the supply and construction of
116 new schools for remote parts of the Eastern Cape of South
Africa. The contract calls for the delivery of 398 classrooms, 8
laboratories and ancillaries to the Eastern Cape Province's
Department of Public Works over the next four months.
Kwikbuild, one of the market leaders in building and supplying
quality pre-fabricated classrooms in South Africa, will manufacture
the classrooms in its facility in Cape Town. Kwikbuild has recently
achieved a Level 2 BBBEE contributor rating in South Africa,
verified by SEESA, a Government approved verification agency.
The buildings have a design life of 30 plus years and come fully
insulated, keeping the classrooms cooler in hot weather and warmer
in cold weather.
David Lenigas, Lonrho's Executive Chairman commented:
"There is a chronic shortage of adequate classroom facilities
throughout Southern Africa and Lonrho is pleased that it can offer
a solution to Governments to help address the current demand for
this type of infrastructure.
Kwikbuild is seeing increasing demand for its products not only
in South Africa but across the Continent. Quality pre-fabricated
buildings are a quick and cost effective way to meet the demand for
schools, clinics, offices and accommodation. The benefit of the
prefabricated building is that it can be up and working in days
rather than months."
