Deputy Transport Minister Launches much-needed ICT Infrastructure at an impoverished rural community The Deputy Minister of Transport, Ms Sindisiwe Chikunga, will officially handover Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Infrastructure at Ramohlakana Secondary School in Limpopo on Monday, 25 April 2016.
Ramohlakana is located in Driekoppies village Blouberg Local Municipality, Limpopo province. The ICT Infrastructure which includes a library and mobile computer laboratory aimed at improving teaching and learning is donated by the aviation entity of the Department of Transport, Air Traffic and Navigation Services (ATNS). ATNS has also donated the same Infrastructure at another nearby school - Selowe Primary.
