it is a dangerous culture of fighting for rights and strikes and toyi toying and children have also imbibed this nonsense culture. burning schools, government buildings and destroying stuff is fast becoming a way of life.
we are no longer fighting apartheid, we are now in a democracy, if a Party is not performing, vote them out, even if it is ANC, instead of destroying things and fighting and yet we still vote for them.

ARRRggg!!!!!

Another example of sheer incompetence . How is it not possible to know when the new school will be ready ? A building project has time lines, completion dates, etc. How the f can they not know ? I am not surprised the kids are boycotting, maybe it will draw enough attention to the issue so that the lazy incompetent a$$holes can at least find the f out when the new scool will be finished.

Odds are the school is being built by a Mathale/Malema crony, with no experience, at hundreds of millions of rands.

"The 37-year-old school has no fence, no ceilings in most of the classrooms and few have chairs and desks. Most of the windows are broken and the entire structure is surrounded by thick bushes"

What happened to having a headmistress or headmaster who sorted these things out? Fix the flippin school already and find out how a new school takes two blerrie years to still not be completed.

MommaC, you are expecting too much effort from the pedagogues of our ANC run South Africa ? Careful with your criticism, you will have SADTU on your case in no time.

Jerrr, these children! Most of my school days happened under trees. My university days were harsh in the late eighties and early nineties being one of the few non whites in a "white" institution. today I am educated and doing good, without any handouts, just hard work. Wake up children, you are wasting your future with your lazyness!!

Jirrie, old Ms Armstrong would have had us kids out there cleaning and she would have personally been on the roof with a bunch of teachers fixing it. You can't have a school with so little respect and expect kids to have discipline or to learn anything.

Addressing the pupils, community leader Conrad Tsiane said: "There's no need to sit outside this school. You are our children and we don't want you to ruin your future.

"Go back to school and wait for the department to hand this school over to you."
