By REGINALD KANYANE

29 July 2025- The North West Department of Education said it is pleased to announce that electricity has been restored to five schools and two offices in the Ditsobotla Local Municipality on 28 July 2025. The department said this development is expected to significantly improve the learning environment and operational efficiency in the affected institutions.

The North West Department of Education Superintendent-General, Lengane Bogatsu said they remain committed to ensuring that all schools and offices function effectively in the delivery of quality education. Bogatsu said this is in efforts of salvaging the situation in the area.

“We met with representatives from affected schools of Ditsobotla Local Education Office, the Department of Public Works, and the Ditsobotla Local Municipality to discuss the recent electricity cut-offs in certain schools.

“The affected schools and offices were Laerskool Lichtenburg, Laerskool Burgersdorp,Lichtenburg English Secondary, Yusuf Dadoo Memorial Primary

and Shukran Primary School, Lichtenburg Circuit Office and

Local Education Offices,” he said.

Bogatsu further said the meeting successfully identified the challenges, which caused the problem. He added that all the affected departments committed to addressing the outstanding backlogs to the Ditsobotla local Municipality.

“Electricity disconnection will have a negative impact on the results of the affected schools. As the department, we were extremely concerned about the electricity disconnection experienced by the five schools and the offices. We were shocked to learn that some of the schools which were disconnected didn’t owe the municipality.

“The electricity disconnection was affecting schools negatively in their performance. It also exposed them to burglary activities from the criminals. This year the Department is targeting 95% performance in the matric results but such disconnection will lead to poor performance,” said Bogatsu.

He said the department resolved that schools should update their accounts with the municipality on regular basis.

Banyana return home from Morocco

29 July 2025- Banyana Banyana returned home on Monday night after more than a month in Morocco and participating in the CAF Women Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON). Several weary faces emerged from the OR Tambo International Airport Arrival gates after coach Dr Desiree Ellis’ charges managed a fourth-place finish in the WAFCON a few days ago.

They went down 3-4 on penalties to Ghana in the bronze medal match after the two sides were deadlocked at 1-1 in regulation time at Larbi Zaouli Stadium in Casablanca, Morocco on 25 July 2025.

Gabriela Salgado (who was injured in the semi-final clash against Nigeria) arrived on Monday morning with team manager Lauren Duncan and they were met at OR Tambo by SAFA CEO Lydia Monyepao. Ellis said they knew that they would have a target on their back as the defending champions and the script played out exactly as they anticipated.

“As the defending champions we knew that every game we were going to play was going to be a cup final and it was exactly like that. I think we gave as best as we could. Sometimes when a team just does something better than you, you have to acknowledge that as well.

“But these are some of the things that you learn to manage, especially against Nigeria, and in the later minutes (of a match). It’s unfortunate that (Salgado’s) injury came at the time and if you saw the injury and what it looked like, I think emotionally it was very difficult,” she said.

Ellis further said it affected a lot of the players. She added that they tried to calm them down, but that’s not something one can do in two or three minutes.

“At the end they were not focused or shall I say it affected them emotionally. But as I said, if we had scored that goal – that sort of ball took very long to trickle over the line – we could have been speaking differently now.

“It is those small, little margins, I think in the final third, better decision-making at times would have got us in on goal a few times,” said Ellis.

She said her technical team and the Banyana staff will take a few days to rest before planning for the next battle.
