Gowelo said he will bring early childhood development and kindergarten centers in all schools in the ward.
He will also ensure that there should be a primary and secondary school at fargo area for the youth to ease congestion in some schools because currently Mkolokoti primary school has seventy eight teachers against close to ten thousand learners.
“I will build a recreation Centre, library and a hall for the youth to interact with each other and as a means of reducing early pregnancies, drug and alcohol abuse among the youth. I will also ensure that there should be a technical school at fargo for the youth to learn vocational skills,” he said.
Gowelo further said that he will ensure that there should be unity among all political parties as well as concrete bridges for easy movement.
