– where were you, when institutions of learning and teaching collapsed before our naked eyes? The announcement of matric results has been deferred to January 19 with accompanying inconveniences.
Ghost teachers as well as stabbings and shootings mar the environment. Covert and overt racism continues with impunity. Learning under trees and deadly pit toilets have been normalised post-1994. Traffic congestion is caused and accidents experienced because pupils are ferried from dilapidated and dysfunctional township/village schools to suburbia.
