ZF Mgcawu District Municipality: Changing Lives One Learner at a Time

In a heartwarming act of service and dedication, the Executive Mayor of the ZF Mgcawu District Municipality, Cllr. Maryna Basson recently responded to a heartfelt request from the Keidebees Intermediate School to assist a young learner in need. The school reached out to the Executive Mayor, seeking support for a child who was struggling to see properly in class due to his weak eyesight.

Upon learning about the situation, the Executive Mayor immediately took action, ensuring that the learner received an eye test and the necessary corrective glasses. Due to the severity of the child’s eyesight problem, specialized lenses were required. Determined not to let financial constraints stand in the way of the learner’s education and well-being, the Executive Mayor secured the funds and even contributed from her resources to fully cover the costs.

Thanks to this intervention, the learner now has a clear vision, significantly improving his ability to participate in class and engage with his education. The Keidebees Intermediate School have expressed immense gratitude, acknowledging that this act of kindness has had a profound impact on the child’s academic journey.

This initiative is a reflection of the ZF Mgcawu District Municipality’s unwavering commitment to serving the community—one person at a time if necessary. While large-scale projects are important, we take great pride in ensuring that even individual needs are met when possible. Every act of service, no matter how small, contributes to the well-being and development of our people.
