The MEC for Education, Viola Motsumi implored artists from North West province to feature learners on their albums.
“I wish to congratulate each and every learner who has made it to this level. It has not been easy for every one of you to reach the provincial level. Credit and recognition should be given to our teachers for their sterling work.
“As a department we do not only teach learners in class, we also mould their talents outside of the class in music and in sports. I want to make a humble request to our artists in the province to consider featuring our learners in their albums, because they are highly talented,” said MEC Motsumi.
The winning schools will compete at the national championships.
