The Minister of Basic Education, Ms Siviwe Gwarube and the Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies, Mr Solly Malatsi jointly handed over a newly refurbished Microsoft South Africa Digital Lab at Phefeni Secondary School in Soweto, marking an important milestone in government’s efforts to expand digital access, strengthen teaching and learning, and prepare young South Africans for a rapidly changing, technology-driven world. The Digital Lab, made possible through a partnership with Microsoft South Africa and supporting partners including Jozi My Jozi, represents a tangible investment in the future of learners and educators at Phefeni Secondary School and the broader Soweto community. This handover reflects a shared commitment by both the Department of Basic Education and the Department of Communications and Digital Technologies to ensure that schools are not only safe and dignified spaces of learning but are also equipped to participate meaningfully in the digital economy. Both Ministers noted that access to reliable digital infrastructure is no longer a luxury, but a necessity. Digital labs such as this one open new pathway for learners to develop critical digital skills, enhance literacy and numeracy through technology-enabled learning, and gain exposure to tools that are increasingly essential in higher education and the world of work.
