Ward 74 committee ensures Theo Twala is ready for more learners

On Friday, the Ward 74 committee partnered with local businesses to deep clean Theo Twala Primary School as more learners return to class.

Morne Prinsloo, from Calgro M3, says the project came at the prefect time for them.

“We want to show the community that we care.

“We are all together in the fight against the spread of Covid-19.

“We don’t just want to sell things to them, but give back.”

Spearheaded by Clr Thulani Simelane, the project brought much-needed supplies to the school.

“We need to make the school premises as safe as possible for the learners.

“It is every person’s responsibility to do what they can to help in this situation,” says Simelane.

Calgro M3 donated sanitisers and all the cleaning equipment used to disinfect the school.

“We don’t want to come to the community once and disappear.

“But we want to be available to do as much as we can to assist them,” concludes Prinsloo.

Principal of the school Themba Mthembu says he is extremely grateful for the work done.

“The children have gotten used to the process and the precautions.

“And we have been doing well.

“Learners answer questionnaires as they enter the school.

“And the children are sanitised.

“If any symptoms are observed, we isolate them immediately.”

Mthembu is appealing to parents to stay outside the gate.

“We have already had issues because the parents are not adhering to the precautions.

“Some parents are sending their children to school while they are sick.”

Mthembu believes that the school will only be successful if parents cooperate.
