MEC MORWENG VISITS RURAL SCHOOLS IN TAUNG

The 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 the Greater Taung Local Municipality.

The schools are located in the most rural and remote part of Taung and rely on the department’s scholar transport services.

MEC Morweng shared words of encouragement with the grade 12 learners who are currently on 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 come 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.

“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,” said MEC Morweng while addressing the learners.

The MEC also indicated that government remains determined to ensure that the necessary support is given to learners throughout their schooling journey and more so in matric.

“I was once in your position, coming from a very rural area and I can tell you that the decision to remain focused will pay off ultimately. Grab the opportunity to learn with both hands, because education is the greatest equaliser,” said MEC Morweng.
