Expressing gratitude for the much-needed upgrade, Moeti Primary School Principal, Mr. L.Z. Maselo, stated, “We are really overwhelmed by what the government has done for us. The safety of our learners has always been a major concern, and with this new fence, we feel more assured. We will no longer have to deal with unwanted invasions in our school, and we hope this will significantly reduce the burglaries we have experienced.”

Mr. Maselo extended his appreciation to the government and all stakeholders involved in the project, making special mention of the Thuntsha Lerole initiative, which continues to support infrastructural improvements in education.

John Frylinck Secondary School’s Principal, Mr. Moiloa, echoed similar sentiments, highlighting how the fencing will benefit both institutions. “We truly appreciate this development. It not only secures our school premises but also fosters a sense of safety for both learners and educators,” he said.

MMC for Infrastructure at Naledi Local Municipality, Cllr. Letshwene, applauded the role of the School Governing Body (SGB) and School Management Team (SMT) in ensuring the successful completion of the project. He also encouraged educators and school leaders to take care of the fence to maintain its longevity.

Dr. Ruth Segomotsi Mompati District Municipality Acting Executive Mayor, Mr. S. Matobo, added a personal touch to the occasion by reflecting on his early education at Moeti Primary School. “This school holds a special place in my heart. Seeing it receive this much-needed upgrade brings me great joy. It is our responsibility as a community to protect this investment.”

The fencing project forms part of a broader government initiative to improve school infrastructure and security, ensuring that learning environments remain safe and conducive to education. School authorities, learners, and parents welcomed the development, with many hoping it would mark the beginning of more investment in local education infrastructure.

With the handover complete, both Moeti Primary School and John Frylinck Secondary School look forward to a safer and more secure future for their students.
