A primary school in Etwatwa outside Benoni, Gauteng, was set alight on Monday, allegedly by protesters. The administration block and grade R classrooms at Barcelona Primary School were reduced to ashes, resulting in grade R pupils having to stay at home. “A group of community members closed the school from Monday, protesting for the building of a brick and mortar school. Officials visited the school and held fruitful meetings with the affected stakeholders. Sadly [the] school was torched,” said the department spokesperson Steve Mabona on Wednesday.

“Our officials have already started to evaluate the cost implications and whether part of the school can be utilised or not. We might be compelled to place learners at neighbouring schools,” said Mabona. “The situation is now calm. Learners are expected to attend school [on Thursday]. The administration block and grade R classes were affected. Unfortunately, grade R learners will have to stay home.

There we go, our kids are now stranded because of our stupid way of resolving issues. When are we going to learn that protesting at the ballot is the best of them all.

Barbaric Behavior——

These 'demonstrators ' are all on same whatsapp group whichever part of the country they in. Demonstrate, burn, and destroy. Why can't a demonstration be peaceful. Surely it would achieve more

Has South African citizens become a DESTRUCTIVE NATION🤔The more PEOPLE destroy, the less money is available for social services & RE-BUILDING of infrastructure, like the school in Etwatwa!😭Don't let frustrations turn you into EVIL behavior!👹Same as in Tembisa🔥ANC to GO!⏩🚪

The most pathetic stupid criminal and hateful deed! Taking away an education! Hope the people responsible burn!!

Shameful behavior

First entrepreneurship school launched in EkurhuleniWith the support of the Kempton Park/Tembisa Tourism Association and Emperors Palace, the Gauteng Department of Education has launched the first entrepreneurship school in the Ekurhuleni Municipality. I have always hated Bitcoin and thought it was a scam until a friend referred me to Allison_Grillo, I made my first withdrawal of R100,000 in 2 weeks thanks to Allison_Grillo. Give it a month. It will be messed up and then burned.
