The community of Luka Village near Rustenburg woken up to shocking news that their school called Ramotse Primary School has burnt down on Saturday midnight, 12 February 2022.

The MEC for Education, Mmaphefo Matsemela condemned in strongest terms the alleged burning of the school.
“I take this moment to condemn in its strongest terms the alleged burning of Ramotse Primary school. Such incidents are clearly targeted at delaying the provisioning of education to an African child.

The school has opened a case of arson with the local police station.
