Western Cape school takes strain with eight teachers for 407 Grade 9 pupils

“It’s highly stressful and demanding. I deal with double the number of parents and have to do admin work at home,” said Naidoo.

Then, on Wednesday last week, parents closed the school, saying the department was failing to address their concerns. Nosango Tini said her son was put on the Grade 8 waiting list in July last year. “Because I don’t have money for a taxi fare or a train ticket, I want my son to study nearby and walk to school ... I never went to school and I battle to survive, but I want my kid to study and become somebody.”

“The government says that no kids must not attend school. Why are they not accommodating the learners [then]?" he asked.
