Botleng Secondary School is a public secondary school located at 898 Shabangu Street, Botleng, Delmas, Mpumalanga, 2210, South Africa[1][6][8]. The school serves the Botleng, Delmas suburb and is managed by principal L.M. Mokoena[1][4]. The contact telephone number for the school is 013 665 4257[1][2][4].

As of 2023, Botleng Secondary School enrolled approximately 1,645 learners with a teaching staff of 47, resulting in a learner-to-teacher ratio of about 35:1[8]. The school is ranked as Quintile 3, meaning it caters to a moderate socio-economic community and operates on a fee-paying basis. School fees are set by the administration, and the school is eligible for state subsidies up to R1,602 per learner[8].

Admission follows the South African Schools Act of 1996, with applications generally open from April to October of the preceding year. Required documents include birth certificates, immunization cards, and—where applicable—additional paperwork for non-South African citizens. Provincial admissions coordinators assist parents and guardians throughout this process to ensure accessibility for all school-age children[8].

The school uniform policy, guided by national and provincial regulations, is set by the governing body to promote unity and discipline. For details on the uniform, families are encouraged to contact the school administration[8].

In 2023, Botleng Secondary School made news for enrolling 1,669 learners, highlighting its significant role within the Delmas educational community[3]. The school became the focus of national headlines in February 2025 following the controversial killing of Raygun, a male Cape baboon, on the school premises—an event that drew attention to local social tensions and wildlife protection issues[7].
