Manifestos Unpacked: ‘Big Three’ political parties overpromise on schools infrastructure as elections loomWith general elections just over a month away, political parties are putting their best foot forward, offering lofty promises in their manifestos that they claim will transform South Africa for the better. With regards to schools infrastructure, the ‘big three’ parties (ANC, DA and EFF) have either made outlandish promises to resolve issues in record time, or have paid scant attention to them. Either way school infrastructure continues to raise alarm bells as pit toilets, crumbling school buildings and missing textbooks continue to stand in the way of learners exercising their constitutional right to education. I hope ANC leadership they know what's big three means as the one they expelled he's one of the big 3 in RSA The. Eff. Are. Not. Big. They. Are. Only. 6%. Thanks SA media for continually elevating them and emboldening them
