The Deputy Minister of Water and Environmental Affairs, Ms Rejoice Mabudafhasi will officially hand-over a media classroom to Tlhame Primary School in Mmametlhake, Dr JS Moroka Local Municipality on Thursday, 7 November 2013.
Tlhame Primary School put the area of Mmametlhake on the map by scooping the first prize in the Traditional Music category of the Baswa Le Meetse (BLM) competitions during the 2011 edition of the South African Youth Water Summit.
Baswa Le Meetse is a key project of the 2020 Vision for Water Education Programme (2020 VFWEP) whereby Grade 6 learners convey messages of water use efficiency, water conservation and health and hygiene through art forms such as drama, traditional music, praise singing, poetry and posters.
The 2020 Vision for Water Education Programme (2020 VFWEP), of which Baswa Le Meetse is one of its components, is aimed at addressing the key challenges of water scarcity, water use efficiency and water sector skills shortage in a sustainable way by educating and empowering learners on water conservation.
The state of the art media classroom sponsored by MTN Foundation will play a major role in improving the quality of teaching and learning for both the educators and learners in the school. The media classroom is equipped with 21 computers, data projector, multifunctional printer, modems, data cards and R1 000 internet subsidy for twenty four months.
