On Sunday 20th January, DA National Leader, Helen Zille, accompanied by DA Mpumalanga provincial leader Anthony Benadie, DA Mpumalanga provincial chairperson James Masango, DA councillors and activists will officially open the Remmogo crèche in Matibidi Village.

The crèche was built after DA Cllr Johan Ligthelm identified the need for a proper child care and education facility in this impoverished community in one of the furthest corners of Mpumalanga. A generous donation was secured and construction of the school commenced in October 2012.

There will be opportunities for interviews and photographs.
