24 October 2024- The North West MEC for Community Safety and Transport Management, Wessels Morweng on Wednesday, embarked on a criss-cross visit to engage with learners from Mothelesi, Totonyane and Seoleseng Secondary Schools in Taung.
The schools are located in the most rural and remote part of Taung and rely on the department’s scholar transport services.
Morweng, who donated food parcels, shared words of encouragement with the Grade 12 learners, who are currently in camp as part of their final examination season that started this week. He also donated food packs to the schools to ensure that they have enough supplies to sustain them until exams are over.
“Today, I came here with the belief that all of you belong in the categories of champions. You are the fearless generation and there is no doubt that you will become excellent future leaders. So, use this as an opportunity to implement what your teachers have taught you in the preparation phase.
“Conquer and lead your schools to the victory they deserve. The government remains determined to ensure that the necessary support is given to learners throughout their schooling journey and more so in matric,” he said.
Morweng further said he was once in their position and coming from a very rural area, he can tell them that the decision to remain focused will pay off ultimately. He added that they should grab the opportunity to learn with both hands, because education is the greatest equaliser.
