Mosupatsela Secondary School Contact Details

Mosupatsela Secondary School is a large public school in Kagiso, in Mogale City on the West Rand. Gauteng, unlike some provinces, publishes no school telephone numbers at all, so the honest route to the school runs through the district office rather than through a number found on a directory.

Why no school number is published here

• The Gauteng Department of Education publishes no school-level contact file. Its own education pages carry only the provincial government contact numbers
• Numbers and a free Gmail address for this school circulate on third-party school directories. None of them come from the department or from the school, and a school that receives official correspondence at a personal webmail address is a reason for more caution, not less
• The school is a no-fee public secondary school in Kagiso, Mogale City, in the West Rand part of the province
• If you have a number from a directory, treat it as unverified and confirm it with the district before sending anything with personal details in it

Official routes

• Gauteng Department of Education: 011 355 0000, or the toll-free line 0800 000 789
• Gauteng Provincial Government contact centre: 011 298 5879, toll free 0800 228 827 and 0800 203 886, hotline@gauteng.gov.za, SMS 17747
• Ask the department for the district office that serves Mogale City, and for that office direct number. The district is the layer that actually resolves school-level problems
• National Department of Basic Education: 012 357 3000, or toll free 0800 202 933

Admissions and fees

• Gauteng runs its admissions through an online application system with a published window, usually in the year before the learner starts. Applying late, not a shortage of places, is the usual reason a learner ends up unplaced
• An unplaced learner is a district responsibility. Escalate to the district office rather than going from school to school
• As a no-fee school, no school fee may be charged here. If money is being demanded for admission, registration or a report, that is a matter for the district office
• A learner may not be refused admission, sent home or have results withheld over money, at any school in the country

Serious matters

• Corporal punishment is unlawful in every South African school. Assault is a criminal matter and belongs with the police as well as the district, not with the school alone
• The national Child Protection line is 0800 055 555, and Childline South Africa is on 116, free from any phone
• Put any serious complaint in writing, dated, and keep a copy. A verbal complaint at the school gate leaves nothing to escalate

Sources

• Gauteng Department of Education pages on the Gauteng Provincial Government website, which publish no school contact list and carry only the provincial contact numbers
• Gauteng Provincial Government official website footer, for the contact centre number, the two toll-free lines, the hotline mailbox and the SMS line
• Published Gauteng and national education department contact numbers
• School directory listings and the school own public page, for the Kagiso and Mogale City location and the no-fee status only, none of which are used here as contact details
