Natest Primary School
Welcome to Natest Primary School, a beacon of hope and excellence in education nestled in the heart of Campbell’s Town, Old Mount Edgecombe. Established 55 years ago through the collective efforts of the descendants of indentured labourers from the local sugarcane plantations and mill, our school stands as a testament to the power of community and perseverance. Known affectionately as Madiba’s School, following the memorable visit by Nelson Mandela in 1997, we carry forward the legacy of unity, resilience, and the pursuit of excellence that Madiba himself embodied.
