History of the School.

1.HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL
Ingwemabala Comprehensive High school was built in the 1930’s. It is situated in South Africa, KwaZulu Natal, South Coast, Port Shepstone, Betania. It is about 15 kilometres away from Port Shepstone. The school first started as a Swedish missionary school that served as a primary school. It later became a Secondary school with students using the old Swedish buildings as a hostel. The name Ingwemabala means “Leorpard spots”. Our school badge has it. It is also named after an Induna whose name was Ngwemabala,  he was feared by many, and will hit girls who wore pants. The school became a comprehensive because, it provided a lot of programmes.

The school serves the Nyandezulu community under the INkosi Sazi Nelson Ndwalane. It was a paying-fee school until last year. We also got to feed the students, during break time. We are one of the 2 high schools in the area. There are also 3 primary schools that feed us.
