ANC DH Mabuya Branch 2026 School Opening at Etwatwa Secondary School and Kgothalang Primary School.
The African National Congress DH Mabuya Branch marks the commencement of the 2026 academic year by reaffirming our unwavering commitment to accessible, quality, and dignified education for all. Our branch leadership, alongside the ANC Youth League, undertook a proactive oversight visit to both Etwatwa Secondary School and Kgothalang Primary School on the official first day of school.
Etwatwa Secondary School:
Our engagement with Principal Mr. Makhoba, educators, learners, and parents was constructive and insightful. We witnessed firsthand the eagerness of our youth to learn and the dedication of our educators to teach. However, we also observed the very real challenges faced by our community: late applications, administrative transfers, and the pressing issue of learners without proper school uniform due to socioeconomic hardships.
The ANC is not a spectator. We are an active participant in the development of our communities. On this day, our cadres were on the ground, assisting community members with these very administrative hurdles, ensuring that no child is unjustly turned away from the gates of learning.
We note with concern reports of tensions between learners and community structures (Wardens and CPF). We call for calm and dialogue. The ANC DH Mabuya Branch stands ready to facilitate discussions to strengthen the vital partnership between schools, learners, and community safety forums, ensuring a secure and conducive learning environment.
As we move forward, we issue a call to action:
· To Parents and Guardians: Partner with us. We strongly encourage monitoring school uniform compliance at home. A uniform is a symbol of equality, discipline, and readiness to learn.
· To the Community: Let us unite to support our schools. Education is a societal priority.
· To the Learners of Etwatwa, especially the Class of 2026: We believe in you. The ANC wishes you a productive, disciplined, and successful academic year. Your future is the future of our nation.
The ANC DH Mabuya Branch remains steadfast in its mission to build better communities through education and active, servant leadership. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide support where needed.
Education for Liberation!
