MAFIKENG MAIL – MAHIKENG: Acting Premier of the North West Province, Patrick Dumile Nono Maloyi Yesterday, (Wednesday) officially open and handed over a newly constructed Saruchera Primary School in Huhudi Ext 25, Vryburg in Naledi Local Municipality.
The Acting Premier was accompanied by the MEC for Education Ntsetsao Viola Motsumi, the department’s senior managers and the executives from the local and district municipalities.
The school opened its doors for learning for the first time on the reopening of the second term and enrolled about 1 380 learners from Grade R - 6. These learners previously attended at various schools around Huhudi township, and the official opening of the new school will bring the much-needed relief to the releasing schools as they were already overcrowded.
This state-of-the-art primary school comprises among others, 24 classrooms, library, computer centre, Grade R facilities, multipurpose hall, toilets and changing rooms, and will employ 33 educators, including a Principal and two Deputy Principals, majority of whom are from the releasing schools. The construction of Saruchera Primary School was necessitated by the establishment of a new settlement and the building of RDP houses in Extension 25 & 28 in Huhudi, which resulted in overcrowding in the already existing schools around the township.
