Fresh Produce Market Promotes Healthy Living at Khayalethu Primary

The Matlosana National Fresh Produce Market, operating under the City of Matlosana’s Local Economic Development (LED) Directorate, recently partnered with Khayalethu Primary School during a Grade R parents’ engagement event on 18 September 2025. The initiative was designed to strengthen communication between families and the school while promoting supportive partnerships in early childhood education.

Building Stronger Partnerships in Education

The event featured a variety of collaborative activities and games, allowing parents and learners to spend meaningful time together. These activities highlighted the critical role of parental involvement in the foundation phase, where support from families is essential for shaping long-term academic success. The initiative not only fostered stronger school-family relationships but also reinforced the idea that education is most effective when children feel supported at home and in the classroom.

Promoting Healthy Eating and Lifestyle Choices

Beyond educational engagement, the Fresh Produce Market used the opportunity to promote the importance of balanced nutrition. Parents were encouraged to prioritise fruits, vegetables, and whole foods in their children’s diets to ensure stable energy levels, better concentration, and improved overall well-being. The message aligned with the market’s broader campaign to raise awareness about the benefits of healthy eating as part of daily family life.

Commitment to Healthy Consumption

The event forms part of the Fresh Produce Market’s ongoing mission to promote Healthy Consumption through programs and initiatives that encourage communities to make informed food choices. By engaging directly with families at the grassroots level, the market reinforces its role in supporting both public health and educational outcomes.

Looking Ahead

The Matlosana National Fresh Produce Market reaffirmed its commitment to initiatives that connect education with wellness, recognising that healthy children are better prepared to learn and thrive. By continuing to integrate nutritional awareness into community programs, the Market strengthens its contribution to sustainable development, healthier lifestyles, and long-term community wellbeing.
