The Rhandza Xikolo Xa Wena Campaign 2026. (Part 3).

Ms. Lindiwe Masina, MEC of Education in Mpumalanga, wraps up the launch of the 2026 Campaign by explaining that the initiative exists to protect schools, restore dignity, and build communities that take ownership of learning spaces. She emphasizes that schools must be safe, disciplined, and inspiring environments where learners can thrive without fear or disruption. She also highlights that the campaign is meant to unite government, parents, traditional leaders, educators, learners, and civil society in a shared responsibility to care for schools. By working together, communities can help prevent vandalism, crime, substance abuse, and neglect while promoting accountability and active citizenship. Ms. Masina further explains that the initiative is about more than protecting buildings; it is about transforming schools into centres of hope, development, and pride. The message is clear: when communities protect their schools, they protect the future of their children and the province as a whole. Heart to Heart
