Western Cape Education Department spokesperson Bronagh Hammond said every year, the department had learners who were unplaced at the start of the school year due to late enrolment or demands for specific schools or areas.

Hammond said parents may have to wait weeks to find places at schools in the Western Cape, if they did not already have places. “On the 10th school day, if a learner has failed to arrive at school, then the school can take them off their enrolment list. This opens up places across the province.” She said some learners decided to enrol in other provinces, while others had simply been enrolled at more than one school and failed to notify the relevant schools that they would not be admitting their child into a particular school. Hammond said the learner population in the province continued to grow dramatically.

Nightmare start to 2020 for thousands of Cape Town commutersIt’s been a nightmare start to 2020 for thousands of long-suffering Cape Town commuters, with Metrorail’s central line and the MyCiTi N2 bus service still suspended — and no sign that the services will be restored any time soon. Their provincial government is busy in Australia 🙄 They keep burning the trains what did they expect Best example of how politicians do not want to know and or do not care about the daily struggles, financially and otherwise, of commuters. Neither the DA (MyCity Bus) nor the ANC (PRASA) seems to grasp the extent of the problem.
