Hopolang Combined School is a unique school-based in Khayelitsha at H-Section. It is one of the disadvantaged schools in the area. The school was established in 1991 platooning at a school called Intwasahlobo primary since it didn’t have its own buildings. The co-founders of the school were Ms. Tsoeu and Ms. Matsabisa and by that time, the school had only 5 teachers. The school operated in that school up until it was moved to the temporal structures at Town-two under the principal ship of Ms. Adelaid Mannini Matsabisa who then retired in December 2016. The school was marketed through hosting cultural activities such as Moshweshwe’s day celebrations which made it very popular. In this way, the school grew up in numbers as more and more people started to know about the school and this resulted in the extension of the curriculum up to grade 9. In the year 2008, the school moved to the deserted buildings at H-Section where it is still located. The school is declared a quintile three school simply because it is based in a poverty-stricken area where most of the people are not working. The department therefore subsidizes every learner undergoing schooling at Hopolang. Hopolang Combined School is about 20 km from the district office that is Metropole East in the Kuils River region under circuit 5.
