Incompetent governance.

...and this could not have been foreseen and reacted to before it became a crisis? isn't this why we have a population census every 5 years!?

Lets see build more schools to better place kids, get more teachers, or drive around in expensive cars, live an extravagant lifestyle? We all know which option was chosen.

YEAR IN AND YEAR OUT THE SAME PROBLEM! This is the result of a serious lack of planning!

Build more schools instead, proper structures nit containers and stop selling land to build malls, then you wont have to sweat in placing kids

That system is not helping, it's so unfair and corrupt

Because Lesufi never built a school during his tenure as Mec Education. MYANC dont build,they destroy! criminalsyndicate

They just don't seem to learn do they.....?

Why are they insisting on using online admissions system? Other provinces don't have this issue and neither did GP 5 years ago

How many of the learners are undocumented foreigners or foreigners without valid visas HomeAffairsSA DBE_SA ?

Same problem Year in , year out. What are they doing about it?
