A
new school was officially opened in Alexandra on Friday, 20 July, to
replace a structure built in 1960 as a "temporary solution".
The school, which replaces one constructed with asbestos sheets, serves
1 000 learners. Dignitaries attending the opening included Ambie Maseko,
councillor of ward 75; officials from the ARP and Amon Msane,
chairperson in Gauteng's education portfolio as well as Leepile Taunyane,
Premier Soccer League's Life President.
Addressing the learners, who had gathered at the school for the event,
Nomvula Mokonyane, Gauteng MEC for housing, said: "Now our kids can
learn under the most conducive environment – as opposed to the
unfriendly and health hazardous asbestos structure that housed this
school for a long time." |
