Learners of Kalenga Primary School in Grootfontein can now cross the roads with guidance following the launch of patrols courtesy of Trigon Mine. 

The 14-1 road linking Grootfontein, Otjinene, and the Omaheke Region is one of the busiest roads in Grootfontein.

Along that road is Kalenga Primary School, with 1,284 learners.

Although some parents walk their children up to the school entrance, most of the learners cross the road by themselves.

The Grootfontein Traffic Unit trained 18 learners from Kalenga Primary School on scholar patrol to help others cross the road safely.

Mupupa says they are not only focusing on Grootfontein but other areas within the maize triangle.
