'Let's produce a future of reservoirs' - says Morule.



Onkabetse Thuto Technical, a rural based school in Madibogo village, has emerged as number one, following their eloquent debate skills beating three other schools at the recent Provincial Road Safety Debate Competition held in Rustenburg.

Presenting on whether digital innovation is the best approach to promote road safety, a well prepared team of three boys and one girl delivered well researched debate content.

In second position is Vryburg High, the school that will represent the Province in the urban category at the National competition.

The Participatory Education Technique (PET) competition that was held simultaneously with the debate, also emerged with a rural St Pauls Secondary School from Taung. The school will represent the Province in the rural category after beating Realeka Secondary school from Ottosdal and B.A. Seobi Secondary from Potchefstroom.

In his address, the Acting Head of Department of Community Safety and Transport Management, Mr Molefi Morule challenged both competitions to produce a team of future reservoirs who will lead and advocate for road safety.

"Amongst the learners participating here lies solutions to our problematic road canages and incidents which take the lives of our beloved ones.

It is evident that their future is bright as they continue to advocate for road safety.

From here, we must have a provincial blue print and come up with a team that will represent the Province meaningfully during the National competitions," said Morule.

The Acting HoD further appealed to the Department to keep the momentum and continue working with schools to ensure that road safety becomes a concern for everyone.

The Road Safety Debate is a programme that cultivates road safety awareness amongst school going children. It's a flagship programme which is inclusive of learners to become independent thinkers as they are expected to research on various topics as well as to present and debate them with their peers.

While PET is an educational flagship programme which aims at changing learners attitude towards road safety issues by means of participatory education.

The purpose of this is to encourage learners to be aware of road safety challenges in their community as well as to enhance learner's presentation skills by ways of presentation sessions.
