'We cannot continue allowing poor service delivery in our schooling environment'

said the public protector must get to the bottom of what has gone wrong with the construction of the school.

“The school has to date not been utilised as it cannot obtain an occupancy certificate due to the dangerous terrain on which the school was built. The school is flowing with raw sewerage and its infrastructure is crumbling,” said Maimane. “It’s a hazardous zone and cannot safely accommodate children. While the debacle ensues, learners are forced to attend school in containers and wendy houses a few hundred metres down the road.

“The alleged maladministration here is that only after the school plans were approved and the school was all but built was a wetland investigation conducted which, according to the department, discovered an old sewer line which had been leaking for years. This is a cop out by the department. We must get to the bottom of what really occurred here.”

Maimane said the investigation should include finding out whether any of the appointed companies involved in the project have links to government employees.
