Deputy Minister Thembi Siweya (MP) will be conducting a Back-to-School Campaign at Thembelitsha Primary School and Masibambane Secondary School in the Western Cape Province.
The outreach programme is a build-up to the State of the Nation Address (SoNA) which is scheduled to take place on Thursday, 09 February 2023 at 19:00 at the Cape Town City Hall. SoNA, being a key national event where the sitting President of South Africa advises the nation on the Programme of Action for the year ahead, will also reflect on the progress made since the last address.
Deputy Minister Siweya’s Back-to-School Campaign aims to engage with District Management; School Management; Teachers; parents of the learners; School Governing Body; Civil Society and the Police amongst other stakeholders to assess the safety and security of leaners and teachers in school premises, and to rollout anti-bullying and anti-violence awareness through this programme and broadly, to foster intervention in promoting and motivating learners to stay in schools.
