Mobiles and Minor Capital Work Programme

The Department of Transport and Public Works has completed a R100m project to rapidly create space for 5 414 additional places for unplaced learners in the Western Cape Education Department schools. The mobile school project involved the placement of 125 mobile units at 36 schools, and the establishment of two new mobile schools – one in Mfuleni and the other in Table View.

The Mobiles and Minor Works (MMW) Programme team delivered urgent, short-duration capital education infrastructure projects on behalf of the Western Cape Education Department (WCED). Through their experience with rapid delivery of mobile classroom units, the team has grown adept at addressing the urgent, short-term need for additional infrastructure projects. As such, the programme has expanded since 2020 to include other similar sub-programmes that could benefit from the rapid delivery modes already implemented by the team. 
The Mobiles programme has, therefore, expanded since 2020 to include the Incentive Ablutions, Fencing and MOD Centres.

The team takes their work very seriously as they all understand the implications of its impact.  To this end, they are always courteous to their colleagues and client department representatives, despite the pressures of the specific work.  The team demonstrates a high degree of competence, integrity, and responsiveness
