The Gert Sibande District Municipality is scheduled to host its 2025 Rhandza Xikolo Xa Wena activation.
All schools within the Gert Sibande District are expected to participate in the Rhandza Xikolo Xa Wena Campaign as from Tuesday 29 July 2025, commencing at 10:00 AM.
School Management Teams and School Governing Bodies are expected to assume leadership roles to ensure that the day is fully devoted to the Rhandza Xikolo Xa Wena campaign activities.
Recognising the significance of this day, the Head of Education has granted all schools a day off to facilitate their engagement in various activities, including the cleaning of school grounds, the repair of damaged windows and doors, the repainting of school buildings, the restoration of broken furniture, and the establishment of flower and vegetable gardens.
Schools are encouraged to extend invitations to local businesses and school communities to contribute their time and resources to maximise the benefits of this initiative.
The district activations of the Rhandza Xikolo Xa Wena Campaign are a culmination of the Provincial Cleanest School Competition scheduled for September of this year.
“In the spirit of Nelson Mandela, let us recall that the creation of an inviting school environment begins with the collective efforts of each individual” said the MEC for Education Ms Lindi Masina
