Indawo was commissioned to undertake the asbestos roof removal and full roof replacement at the historic Kweekskool building in Stellenbosch. With the safety of students and staff a top priority, all work was carried out under strict health and safety protocols to ensure minimal disruption and full regulatory compliance.

The original asbestos roof was safely removed and replaced with imported Spanish slate tiles, chosen for their durability, aesthetic compatibility with the heritage site, and long-term performance.

A Piece of History Preserved

Did you know?

Kweekskool, originally built in 1687 and remodelled in 1905, is one of Stellenbosch’s most iconic landmarks. It forms part of the Faculty of Theology at Stellenbosch University and stands as a tribute to the oldest Dutch Reformed Seminary in South Africa. Officially inaugurated in 1859, the Seminary marked the beginning of higher education in Stellenbosch.

Indawo is proud to have played a role in preserving this important heritage site, combining modern roofing expertise with a deep respect for the building’s historical significance.
