For years, Gerald residents have been pleading with the government to build primary schools in their locality. Their argument was that the current primary school is overwhelmed by the high number of registered learners. Gerald is one of the fastest-growing areas in the city.

The best bidder has been identified and we are proceeding to the financial stage,” said Radisigo, before adding that he anticipates that the construction phase will begin soon.
