Classrooms, office torched in 'barbaric incident' at North West school

“It is alleged that in the early hours of Friday, the school principal received a report that the school was on fire,” said department spokesperson Elias Malindi.

"A block of classrooms, which constituted of two classrooms and the office of the head of department, were burnt down." One of the classrooms was being used as a storage facility. It housed equipment including a photocopier, refrigerator, microwave, lawnmower, garden tools and cleaning materials, as well as files, textbooks and stationery packs for learners, said Malindi.Matsemela indicated in a statement that she believed the blaze was started deliberately.

“I strongly condemn this barbaric incident of burning our school and I am appealing to our communities to report those people who committed this act to the police. These people always torment our schools - by stealing the food of the learners and now they have burnt the school," said the MEC, adding that these incidents delayed the progress of infrastructure development.

"This is a very crucial period within the academic year. Learners should be allowed to study without any disturbance.”

Stupid people. Have they made any arrests ?

This is one subject the kids excel in. Obtain A+ and enables them to enrol at universities. Why mam Angie worries about 10 20 or 30% pass rate for gr 12 is beyond me.

Must be cadres. Isn't that right gog' MbalulaFikile?

Break and burn each and everyone of them to ashes and as expected there will be no consequences for the arsonists in the banana republic !

As per statements by RonaldLamola and MbalulaFikile, give them a presidential pardon plus golden stars on their foreheads for a job well done

If anyone gets arrested, plse give them Ronald Lamola's number.. he will sort it out

We've run out of words to describe these frequently occurring incidents.

The pass rate still to high?

Minister of Justice,you did it,please did it again

New South Africa

Yeah burn it, burn it all! What then!? 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Well, it's their voters again, so...

Tell Ronald Lamola. They should be lauded for their efforts to decolonize education

They know they will get pardoned by Ramaphosa 😏🙄😕

President is going to Pardon them

Fucked culture not happy let's burn
