Taung- During his state of the Province address on the 06th March 2015, the Premier of Bokone Bophirima Province, Supra Obakeng Ramoeletsi Mahumapelo announced the intention of the Provincial Government to establish a provincial bursary fund to be known as Kgetsi-Ya-Tsie Education and Skills Development Fund.
 
Well, the date and venue have now been decided and the Office of the Premier kindly invites all stakeholders to the Kgetsi Ya Tsie Education and Skills Development Fund Breakfast Launch to be held at Taung Tusk & Hotel School on the 18th of July 2015.

“The aim of the fund is to help hundreds of Bokone Bophirima students who struggle to pay their tertiary tuition fees, and assist in facilitating increased access to educational opportunities to the youth of Bokone Bophirima Province,” Premier’s Office Acting spokesperson Brian Setswambung said.
