School Broken Window[FILE PHOTO] A learner is seen through a broken window at a school in Qunu, Eastern Cape.
Banyanahela Ntwe, SGB chairperson at Utlwanang Barolong Secondary school elaborates, “The Department always supplies the school with books. However, the department is suddenly delaying. These learners just come to school. Majority of their parents are unemployed. They survive on grants that are already used for buying these children clothes, food and toiletry. It is impossible for these parents to buy books for their children.
“We must raise our disappointment in the none or late delivery of stationery for books to the learners 2 weeks down the line. We can confirm that the preliminary reports that we’ve received is that is not only around the Madibogo area but we also have in some areas in Bojanala and in some areas around Zeerust in Ngaka Modiri Molema.
“It is very shameful in a democratic country of South Africa for learners not to receive the stationery. This is part of negligence. The readiness of the department of Basic education was a conspiracy when they emphasised that they’re ready to commence with the 2023 academic year.
