4 September 2025- After weeks of tight district level debate competitions, all four districts in the North West Province are now set to battle it out for the provincial trophy in the 2025 Provincial Road Safety Schools Debate and Participatory Education Techniques (PET) Competitions. The provincial event will take place in Rustenburg in the Bojanala District, hosted by the Department of Community Safety and Transport Management alongside key stakeholders.
The North West Community Safety and Transport Management spokesperson, Charles Matlou said the Dr Kenneth Kaunda District will be represented by Reabona Secondary School, Ngaka Modiri Molema District will be represented by Tau-Rapulana Secondary School, Bojanala Platinum District will be represented by Malatse Motsepe Secondary School, while Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati District will be represented by Vryburg High School.
Matlou said the provincial competition is part of a nationwide programme aimed towards creating awareness and encouragement of safe road user behaviour through debates and PET models.
“The programme not only promotes road safety advocacy but it also nurtures leadership, research, and presentation skills among learners.
“PET allows learners to creatively constract their argument and showcase innovative models that provide sustainable solutions to everyday road safety challenges,” he said.
Matlou said the event will take place at the Kings Palace Hotel, Rustenburg on Friday at 10am.
