Manzomthombo Secondary School is situated in Mfuleni, which falls part of the Khayelitsha Sub-District. The Mfuleni is a predominantly Xhosa speaking community of which about 40% are unemployed. Manzomthombo is a typical township school – born out of a previously disadvantaged community, poor infrastructure setup (RDP structure), poorly trained educators and learners from a society riddled with social ills. Against all odds, Manzomthombo Senior Secondary School rises above all in striving for quality and excellence, as stated in its motto. This is evident from the continued excellent academic performance across all grades.
The SAME Foundation were able to open the SAME Foundation Science Centre, consisting of four science laboratories, five classrooms, a library, a computer centre, and ablution blocks. Included in this school project was bathroom renovations, security systems, classrooms with Smartboard technology, and repairs and painting
