Luveve Secondary School

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Luveve Secondary School is a government school in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. It was established in 1959 as a multi-racial technical college, but later became a secondary school for black students as the technical college was closed due to U D I.

This school was started as a Technical Teacher Training College around 1959.

It was built to train black Africans in technical trades with a view to them returning to their homelands to teach their peers the trades that they had learned. At that time only the staff were multi-racial, the majority being white, some local, but many brought in on special contracts from the UK.

The main trades taught were: Brickwork, Plastering, Painting and Decorating, Carpentry and Joinery, Motor Engineering, Electrical, Plumbing, Engineering (Machining).Mthabisi learnt there
