He mentioned the school was built at the right time as some of the lear-\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ners in the area struggled to access schools in the previous years.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> He noted that the population in Lwandle is increasing annually due to people moving from the neighbouring communities and other provinces.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> &#8220;We want every child in Lwandle to go to school. This is a special school. It is designed for specific children. Not all the children excel in academics. So, we aim to empower those who face challenges by providing them with skills,&#8221; said Diniso.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He described the school as one of the top schools in the area and said it would prioritise children from Lwandle. &#8220;Even the teachers who will be hired here will be the best teachers.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/cityvision\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/school3_11648.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Construction workers are in the race against the clock to complete the work.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/cityvision\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/school4_13372.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ward 86 councillor Xolani Diniso in one of the classrooms.
