More than 300 learners and six teachers are crammed like sardines into five prefabricated classrooms at Newtown High School in Fort Beaufort in the Eastern Cape. Classes are overcrowded and noisy, with up to 68 learners in a class

.

“In May 2015, the school started at Newtown Community Hall, with 35 learners. In 2016, I became school principal. Numbers grew rapidly. In 2017, the Department of Education gave us five prefabricated classrooms with a promise that it would give us five additional classrooms. But until today that has never happened.”

“We don’t have air conditioners. All our electricity cables were stolen during December holidays. We don’t have toilets. The Department of Education only provided us with six toilets during the outbreak of the Covid-19. But at the end of 2020 the toilets were removed because the service provider had not been paid.”

“We have a drugs and alcohol problem in this community. Most of the parents survive on social grants and some are seasonal workers at citrus farms. These appalling learning conditions make education look meaningless to our children. The department is dragging its feet in addressing this problem.We have six toilets, but they are always faulty because vandalism is rife.

You said Public Sector is bloated not knowing at the end the ones going to suffer are blacks.

This is unacceptable. What happened to all the tax money?

Politicians are more worried about what cars they are driven in.

This is actually what's happening in this province. Khanya High School in Mount Fletcher under Joe Gqabi District. I raised with Elijah Mhlanga (DBE Spoke person). Teachers only managed to finish term 1 marking on Thursday this week

Everyone keep talking about your diligence and honesty and I must say that you are very transparent in your mood of operation and promises, thank you MarkdonaldTowns for transforming my life for the best financially.

Baby making tops fort beaufort's activities

It should continue like that in the Eastern Cape until people there wake up and stop voting the anc like sheep. The snake must continue swallowing the money for service delivery

We were meant ro Eat, Drink and be MERRY!

You saved my life, out of debt and I don't think I could ever tell you how much you mean to me, MarkdonaldTowns I will keep telling people about your good work in my life.

That's the sad and harsh realities of the black people. Township schools are neglected and yet best results must be hatched out of a bag like a magician. Poor infrastructure and overcrowding are like a rat gnawing at us!!!

Lesufi this is just awful.

Couple of months ago I came across a recommendation about AmelieBtc1 wealth how he helped investors to earn lots of money with their investments. and I decided to give a trial with the little I have. Now my little has turned into something great which was not my expectation

Another ANC success story!

May God continue to bless you sir. I never believe it's going to work out because I have lost a lot in different places I know one day they will face the judgment. I really appreciate you,👉Sethu_Raman_1

MYANC PresidencyZA must be proud of the job they doing. Well done
