Lee-Chem Laboratories Brings Knowledge to Life at Ingomezulu Primary School
In celebration of Mandela Day, Lee-Chem Laboratories proudly partnered with Ingomezulu Primary School, an underprivileged school located in the heart of the Valley of a Thousand Hills, KwaZulu-Natal, to create a lasting impact through education.
As part of the company’s Giving Back Through Purpose initiative, Lee-Chem Laboratories undertook the ambitious project of building a library and multi-media centre for the learners and educators of Ingomezulu Primary School. The transformation was nothing short of remarkable — turning an unused classroom into a vibrant, inspiring space that now serves as a hub for reading, digital learning, and creative exploration.
Driven by the belief that knowledge empowers future generations, this project reflects Lee-Chem Laboratories’ ongoing commitment to education, community upliftment, and creating opportunities for young minds to thrive.
The official opening of the new library and media centre was a joyous occasion filled with gratitude and celebration. Learners and educators expressed their appreciation through song, traditional dance, and heartfelt speeches, showcasing the true spirit of unity and hope that the day embodied.
“Education is one of the most powerful tools for change,” said a Lee-Chem spokesperson. “By providing access to learning resources and technology, we hope to inspire curiosity, confidence, and ambition in every learner who walks through those doors.”
Lee-Chem Laboratories remains deeply committed to making a positive difference in communities across South Africa — fostering growth, empowerment, and purpose through initiatives that extend beyond the laboratory.

Lee-Chem Laboratories Supports PinkDrive in the Fight Against Breast Cancer
As part of Lee-Chem Laboratories’ ongoing Giving Back Through Purpose initiative, the company is proud to reaffirm its partnership with PinkDrive, a leading South African non-profit organisation dedicated to breast cancer awareness, screening, and education.
Each year, Lee-Chem Laboratories’ sponsors PinkDrive’s Annual Breast Cancer Awareness High Tea events held in Durban and Johannesburg. These gatherings serve as important platforms to raise both funds and awareness for early detection and support services that save lives.
In October 2025, Lee-Chem Laboratories contributed a R30,000 donation towards PinkDrive’s mission, in addition to sponsoring Mandy’s Hair Removal products for inclusion in the event goodie bags. This support formed part of an inspiring collective effort that raised a total of R132,000 for breast cancer screening and awareness initiatives nationwide.
Through this partnership, Lee-Chem Laboratories continues to champion causes that promote women’s health and well-being.
“The PinkDrive High Tea events are a celebration of hope, courage, and community,” said Bhavna Sanker, Marketing Manager at Lee-Chem Laboratories. “We are honoured to contribute to an organisation whose work makes such a tangible difference in the lives of women across South Africa.”
Lee-Chem Laboratories remains committed to empowering individuals and communities through meaningful partnerships that extend beyond the laboratory — fostering awareness, compassion, and purpose in every initiative undertaken.
