Geysdorp – Premier SOR Mahumapelo says the Bokone Bophirima Provincial Government and the residents of Geysdorp near Delareyville in Tswaing Local Municipality are looking forward to the completion of a new primary school that will accommodate seven hundred learners from around the area. 

Joined by MECs for Education and Sports Development Maphefo Matsemela, Culture, Arts and Traditional Affairs Tebogo Modise and MEC for Rural, Environment and Agricultural Development Manketsi Tlhape, Premier Mahumapelo made a brief stop at the construction site on Friday, to ascertain the progress that is being made towards the completion of the school, this as part of the Setsokotsane Programme activities for Tswaing Local Municipality. 

Premier Mahumapelo who was able to lend a helping hand to the workers, says the building of decent schools in the Province will go a long way in realising the objectives of the National Development Plan, which amongst others stresses the importance of education as a key driver of change. This 16-classroom primary school will cost government R32 million.
