Education
Whether any new schools have recently been built or are planned to be built in the area covered by the City of Cape Town’s wards 61, 64, 69 and 71; if so, what are the relevant details?
No new schools have been constructed in Wards 64, 69 and 71, recently.
A mobile school was erected in Ocean View (Ward 61) in the 2018/19 financial year, to address the demand for a primary school in the broader Ocean View/Masiphumelele area (Ward 61 & 69).
Based on departmental needs analysis, Masiphumelele (in Ward 69) has been identified for a new primary school, which is reflected in our User Asset Management Plan (2019/20). The construction of the proposed school is dependent on land availability and we are currently investigating the acquisition of a suitable site. Support in this regard would be welcomed.
