The Eastern Cape Executive Council (EXCO) members, led by Premier Lubabalo Oscar Mabuyane, will join forces with Cabinet Ministers and Deputy Ministers on a week-long Back-to-School Outreach Programme across the province.
The provincial Back-to-School Outreach Programme is an annual campaign, designed to ensure all learners have opportunities to become productive, responsible and competitive citizens, through an inclusive quality basic education system.
The initiative aims to promote education, support learners, and engage with local communities.
It also seeks to mobilise community and stakeholder support, recognising education as a societal matter.
“Building on previous successes, where school visits led to improved teaching and learning outcomes, this campaign will see EXCO members, Ministers and Deputy Ministers interact with learners, teachers and parents.
“They will provide support through the donation of educational materials, infrastructure development and mentorship programmes. The delegation will also engage with local communities, listening to concerns and suggestions on improving education,” the Eastern Cape Provincial Government said in a statement.
The outreach programme is scheduled to take place from 21 – 24 January 2025. – SAnews.gov.za

Van der Merwe was watching a rugby test against the British Lions at Loftus Versfeld stadium in Pretoria. In the packed stadium, there was only one empty seat – next to Van der Merwe.
\”Who does that seat belong to?\” asked his neighbour.
\”It\’s for my wife.\”
\”But why isn\’t she here?\”
\”She died.\”
\”So why didn\’t you give the ticket to one of your friends?\”
\”They\’ve all gone to the funeral.\”

Fun South African Fact: South African Dr. Christiaan Barnard performed the world’s first heart transplant on 3 December 1967 at Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town. The groundbreaking surgery was carried out on Louis Washkansky and Dr. Barnard was assisted by a large and exceptional team of surgeons, nurses and technicians. One of Dr. Barnard’s assistants was Hamilton Naki, a black laboratory assistant who had worked previously as a gardener and went on to work in the animal laboratory at the University of Cape Town. He had assisted Dr Barnard with research leading to the transplant. In the apartheid days, Naki had no access to higher education due to his race. Despite being unable to access formal training, he learned from and assisted university researchers and went on to do unbelievable work.
