The MEC for Infrastructure Development formally handed over the Mokone Maruping Primary School to the Community of Braamfischerville and the Department of Education today. This school replaces a temporary structure that was in operation since 2005.
The school is named after a community activist Mokone Maruping who was born in 1947 in Alexandra township and passed on in April 1999.
Maruping was a leader in the Civic Association and worked as a Chairperson of Zone 9 sub branch of the civic and was later elected as the first democratically elected Councillor. He was known for his multiple roles in the community.
