North West Department of Education is hosting three provinces for the National Learners with Special Educational Needs Football Week held at Waterkloof – Hills Secondary School, near Rustenburg. The North West MEC for Education, Viola Motsumi said North West, Mpumalanga, Northern Cape, and Gauteng attended the event to compete with other provinces.

“Football Week is an inclusive school sports programme aimed at involving U-19 boys and girls’ learners with Mildly Moderate Handicaps (MMH) to nurture and discipline through sports.

“We appreciate other MECs who made sure that this event is a success. On behalf of the department, I would like to welcome each and everyone who attended this football tournament. I am happy that our province is hosting this tournament for the second time and it shows that our hospitality is amazing,” she said.

Motsumi also wished good luck to all the teams that are going to compete in the tournament. She further said she is confident that the North West province will ensure that the trophies remain here at home.

“Let the games officially begin. The football tournament is expected to end on 5 October 2023,” added Motsumi.
