Gauteng Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi says the Gauteng government is determined to have all children learn closer to their school.
On Monday morning the MEC together with the premier of Gauteng David Makhura and MEC Tasneem Motara officially opened the state-of-the-art Abram Hlophe Primary school, which cost R89 million to build.
During the official opening, 13-year-old grade 7 pupil Randzu, extended her gratitude about her new school to the department by delivering a poem titled “how I wish”.
She went on to say, “I am happy that we have bigger classrooms and clean working toilets. The containers they were using as our classes had broken doors and they were very cold in winter. In rainy days water would come inside and the toilets were not working,” he said.
Education activist Hendrick Makaneta salutes Premier David Makhura and MEC Panyaza Lesufi on the opening of the state of the art school in Katlehong. “We knew all along that the Gauteng provincial government is committed to quality education, given the massive infrastructure that they have already rolled out in the past years. Humanity should not forget the role played by Makhura and Lesufi to improve the education of an African child in Gauteng.” Makaneta said.
