WCED sets aside R25m for repairs as criminals target schools

Modderdam High School in Bonteheuwel is one of the worst affected schools and is appealing for assistance.

School principal Rhona Rayray says the school was broken into and vandalised at least 10 times last year. “Two years ago, in 2017, we replaced most of the windows. By the end of the holidays all those windows were broken again.” Former pupil Megan Swanepoel says the alumni organisation is trying to get sponsors to assist the school.

“You can’t learn in that environment when it’s a cold day. The widows are broken. How are you supposed to learn? There are gang signs on the walls.”

MbalulaFikile Razz wa bantwana, bangene baba. There is a vacancy Many will because of being accused i won't leave my position till the court finds me guilty This raises a few questions in my mind. Is it because, as spokesmen, they are effectively the face of the party, that they've been 'asked' to step down? I.e. why hasn't the same request been made to other ANC leaders who have been accused of wrongdoing - e.g. Gwede, Nomvula etc?
