In a heartwarming show of commitment and care, Mayor Thabo Jacobs of Kgetlengrivier Local Municipality has fulfilled a promise made earlier this year by donating 20 brand new school blazers to learners at Reebone Secondary School in Swartruggens.
This intervention, first pledged during the Mayor’s visit to the school in June, is aimed at supporting families facing financial challenges and ensuring that all learners can attend school with dignity, confidence, and a sense of pride.
👔 Promoting Dignity Through School Uniforms
Mayor Jacobs emphasized the importance of education as the foundation for a prosperous future.
“It is vital that we invest in our children. A full school uniform promotes unity, strengthens school identity, and gives learners a sense of belonging,” said the Mayor.
The donated blazers will help ensure that no child is left behind simply because of uniform-related challenges. This act reinforces the municipality’s belief that every learner deserves equal opportunity and support.
💬 Heartfelt Thanks from the School
Mr. Stungu, Principal of Reebone Secondary School, expressed deep appreciation for the gesture:
“This generous support from the Mayor and the municipality will not only motivate our learners but also boost their confidence and uplift school spirit.”
🌟 Part of a Bigger Vision
This initiative is part of the municipality’s broader focus on:
- Education development
- Youth empowerment
- Community upliftment
Through such partnerships and acts of giving, Kgetlengrivier Local Municipality continues to demonstrate a hands-on approach to making a meaningful difference in the lives of young people.
Together, we build a brighter future — one learner at a time.
