The Minister of Basic Education Angie Motshekga will conduct monitoring and oversight visits to several schools in Randfontein, Gauteng on Wednesday, 12 January 2022. This visit will also include a donation of the school shirts and school bags donated by Mr. Price and MTNSA Foundation.

The oversight visits come as the sector is getting ready to welcome back learners for the commencement of the 2022 Academic Calendar and with the sector having already welcomed back School Management Teams (SMTs) and Teachers back to schools.

Minister Motshekga will be accompanied by Ms Angie Maloka, the Acting General Manager of the MTN SA Foundation. The foundation has also donated 100 Tablets to be handed over to Phahama Secondary School.

These visits provide an opportunity to further support schools while strengthening efforts to mitigate risk within school communities. Schools are still expected to adhere to the Covid-19 protocols to ensure the safety of both learners and teachers as they prepare to return to school in 2022.
