GAUTENG EDUCATION NEW CLASSROOMS @KASIBCNEWS 

The rapid growth in demand for education infrastructure due to socioeconomic migration is receiving serious attention from Gauteng Provincial Government. In its latest update the Department of Infrastructure Development (DID) has reported on the construction project pipeline of new schools and classrooms and the rehabilitation and refurbishment of existing education facilities to help reduce the backlog. 

The MEC for Infrastructure Development and COGTA Mr. Jacob Mamabolo has announced that a total 367 classrooms will be made available to a combined 12 478 learners in Gauteng this year. This consists of 309 newly built classrooms catering for 10 506 learners and a further 58 rehabilitated and refurbished existing classrooms to accommodate 1 972 other learners. 

The MEC Mamabolo said the aim of government is to improve lives through quality infrastructure. The Rehabilitation and Refurbishment (R&R) programme is currently focused on renovations and upgrading of classrooms. The programme is assisting the province to eradicate schools constructed from inappropriate materials such as asbestos, reduce the number of mobile classrooms and finally address over-crowding through additional classes.  

Furthermore, through refurbishment of existing classrooms, the programme has played a major role in significantly improving the learning conditions, eradicating inequality and restoring the dignity and pride of thousands of leaners in many township schools across the province.  


“The programme is transforming the old school infrastructure in the province and promotes equality through extensive construction work which gives schools a new lease of life,” commented MEC Mamabolo. 

The delivery of the much-needed classrooms is being implemented on behalf of the Gauteng Department of Education (GDE). The 2021 Statistics South Africa report on migration indicates that about 479 400 people moved to Gauteng between 2016 and 2021.  The Gauteng project pipeline entails completing the construction of 216 new classrooms through new school buildings plus 93 classrooms at existing schools. 

The project includes the new Simunye Secondary School in Rand West Municipality, the upgraded Ribane Laka Secondary School in Mamelodi, Semphato Secondary School in Soshanguve, new Braamfischerville Primary School in Soweto, Dr, W.K Du Plessis School for Learners with Special Educational Needs in Spring and the rehabilitation of Athlone Girls High School in Honeydew, among others.  

The Department of Infrastructure Development is also focusing on completing the construction of Nancefield Primary School, Eldorado Park, and Rus-ter-vaal Secondary School, in Sedibeng. New completion contractors have been appointed following the termination of the initial contractors. The department reaffirms its commitment to timely and prudent implementation of infrastructure projects in service of community needs.

CAPE TOWN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT @KASIBCNEWS Please see attached soundbites in English and Afrikaans by Dr Chris Hunsinger MP @KASIBCAUDIO  The DA will request an urgent Parliamentary Portfolio Committee hearing on the ongoing and growing breakdowns of service at South Africa’s major airports. Minister Creecy and the senior management of ACSA must be called to report to committee on the scope of the brewing crisis, and their plans to address it. It is unacceptable that flights are being grounded at South African airports due to failures by entities within the Department of Transport. It simply cannot continue. This week, flights were delayed and diverted at Cape Town International Airport due to a fuel pump failure under the management of Airports Company South Africa (ACSA). Earlier this month, alarming reports revealed that ACSA has fuel supply at OR Tambo International Airport only until the end of January 2025, raising grave concerns about operational stability in February.

SANDF SOLDIERS GUNNED DOWN IN DRC @KASIBCNEWS   Today’s Joint Portfolio Committee meeting on Defence was a crucial moment for the government to be held accountable for the ongoing crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where our troops are once again caught in the crossfire of a foreign conflict. The meeting saw MPs from the DA push the Minister of Defence and Military Veterans, Angie Motshekga, and the chiefs of the defence force for clarity on key questions. The DA’s MPs demanded to know where the advice for the SANDF deployment came from, who gave that advice, and what oversight measures were in place to ensure the safety and readiness of our troops. Additionally, they asked where the counterintelligence operations were, given the precise coordination and mortar fire of M23 rebels—indicating that the attack was meticulously planned over a number of weeks. Instead of providing the answers South Africans deserve, the Minister and President continue to stonewall and...
