Minister Grant to participate in Bonnievale Primary School sod-turning event

20 July 2016

On 22 July 2016, the Western Cape Minister of Transport and Public Works, Donald Grant will participate in a sod-turning event for the construction of the new R62 million Bonnievale Primary School, which will provide top-quality accommodation for 1 250 learners. He will be joined by the Executive Mayor of Langeberg Municipality, Alderman Daniela Gagiano.

This project to replace the existing school was commissioned by the Department of Transport and Public Works (DTPW) on behalf of the Western Cape Education Department (WCED). Construction started last month, and is expected to have been completed in October 2017. The learners of the school have been temporarily accommodated in mobile structures nearby, and together with teaching staff, are excited to move back into a new school next year.

All media are welcome to attend.

Date: 22 July 2016
Time: 12:00–13:00
