Learners Encouraged To 'Be the Legacy'
“This year is the centenary, it is 100 years of Tata Madiba and
Mama Sisulu. These are two struggle giants who we celebrate
with the theme: ‘Be the legacy’. When we talk about our heroes,
we talk about what they have done for us, what they have
sacrificed for us. You wouldn’t be seated here if it wasn’t for
them. That’s why we say we must be the legacy of what they
wanted us to be,” said Public Works Minister Thulas Nxesi.
The Minister was speaking during an Imbizo in Kameldrift where
the department is hosting a Winter School Program.
Over 100 learners from 22 schools from across the country have
been adopted by the department are attending the program.
The purpose of the program is to expose Grades 10 and 12 pupils
to the build and property career fields. The programme also
seeks to promote the skills development in the built
environment sector in line with the infrastructure plan.
He told a group of high school learners that the only way they
would change their lives for the better is by studying.
