The Premier of Limpopo, Cassel Mathale together with the first lady Mokgadi Mathale will this weekend celebrate his birthday with children in the Giyani area. The premier turned 49 two weeks ago on 23 January, a day which he spent opening the brand new and world class Peter Mokaba stadium.
Premier Mathale will begin his day by handing over a computer lab and classrooms at the Nkami High School in Giyani in the Nwadzekudzeku village. The computers where donated by Webcom Technologies Pty Ltd. Premier Mathale says “the computers will go a long way in increasing computer literacy in the dusty streets of Giyani as well as empowering the learners with Information Technology skills”.
“We are taking these computers to children in the rural areas to also show that we are serious when we talk about rural development, the empowerment of the previously disadvantaged and more importantly, bridging the digital divide. It is now time that children in the rural areas must start to taste what other children in the urban areas are enjoying,” says Premier Mathale.
The Premier will then move to the Mbhangazeki High School where he will handout school uniforms to more than 200 primary and high school learners who come from vulnerable families. These vulnerable learners have been identified by their teachers.
The Premier together with the Limpopo First Lady, Executive Mayor of Mopani district municipality, Councillor Joshua Matlou and Mayor for Greater Giyani municipality, Councillor MD Mathebula will proceed to cut the Premier’s birthday cake.
