Story
Egcekeni Primary School is a no-fee public institution situated in the rural area of Shongweni Dam, under the Pinetown district, in the outer west of the eThekwini Municipality.
Originally built by Tongaat (Hullet) in 1962, the school was located within a sugarcane farm, isolated from the Shongweni Dam area. In 2000, the South African Department of Education relocated the school to a safer location within the Shongweni Dam area to better ensure the safety of students and staff.
Egcekeni Primary offers education for children from Grade R to Grade 9, serving a total of 457 learners.
