10 July 2025- The North West MEC for Education, Viola Motsumi officially handed over the newly-constructed Tlakgameng Primary School in Tlakgameng village, near Ganyesa. Motsumi said the milestone marks a significant investment in education, with the school valued at R69.8 million.
She further said the newly-built Tlakgameng Primary School features 21 classrooms, a fully equipped library, a science laboratory, a Grade R facility, an administration block, security fencing, and a nutrition center, all designed to improve the learning environment for learners. Motsumi added that the facility is part of the department’s ongoing commitment to enhancing school infrastructure across the province.
“The community and school leadership play a critical role in maintaining the school’s facilities. It is essential that we all take collective responsibility to care for this school. I urge the community, learners, and School Governing Body (SGB) to safeguard this school against theft and vandalism.
“We also appeal to all stakeholders to respect the teaching and learning process and avoid disruptions, particularly during service delivery protests. The handover of Tlakgameng Primary School is one of several planned during Mandela Month, reinforcing the province’s dedication to providing quality education and nurturing safe, supportive learning environments,” she said.
