Mixed feelings among parents about paying for school services under lockdown

South Africa is currently on lockdown, which has led to the closure of schools and non-essential services. Some parents want to withhold their monthly installments due to the uncertainty of the future, while others believe they are bound by contracts to pay for fees.

Ngwenya feels differently for paying for his daughter’s fees in Grade 4. He says should the school calendar year be cancelled, fees will be transferred to next year. Another parent says, “But the transport people, their argument is that they use this transport money to pay for their cars and their livelihood. With school fees I’m fine but with transport, it’s the one that’s killing me.”

Another service provider, Tracey Stayer, who owns a swimming school says she closed doors before the end of the term.
