Speaking to MmegiOnilne, Mathe said the installation of the 10,000-litre tanks will help to increase water supply along with having an emergency reservoir to service the schools in case there are water cuts. Kgatleng has 37 primary schools with an enrolment of 16,624 students.

We also want to strengthen cleanliness in schools, especially toilets. We are currently installing hands-free washing basins for all schools," Mathe said.
