The Gauteng Department of Education (GDE) wishes to update regarding the delayed opening of Tanganani Primary School in Diepsloot for the academic year 2025.
It is common knowledge that Tanganani Primary School officially commenced learning and teaching on 12 May 2025, after experiencing considerable delays primarily caused by community disruptions.
Accordingly, the satellite school was scheduled to open on 5 May 2025, however, these disruptions were related to demands for economic beneficiation and were beyond the control of the Gauteng Department of Education.
As a result, the construction timeline was extended, which also affected the timely appointment of educators.
