People believe that the government has a river overflowing with cash which does not get dry.

this is was one of the things that made me choke on my coffee this morning..

But those containers are hot and unfriendly, dept of justice utilizes those and indefinitely which could be the same with education.

Not a new story

ANC voters. They vote for a useless party and expect the good things from it.

MokgadiMaeko This is unacceptable burning or destroying what we have is not solution!!!

Idiots

That’ brilliant. Maybe if individuals make more use of classrooms to learn, they’ll be less inclined to burn them.

Easy...with a lighter & zero conscious.

Pandorabubbles Next week they'll burn another building because there are no classrooms.

One word Stupid

This the shack being burnt that you call a classroom

Why do always when people strike feel a need to burn infrastructure

One broken down shack was burnt

Those classes were shack classrooms and were suppose to temporary whilst they were promised brick classrooms

Sheer madness!!

And here are rest of the classroom

Illiteracy is a disease. How can a real mind do such? Govt has made people to be lazy. This nonsense must stop

This is Madness the Department Must not replace those burnt classes until the Perpetrators are Arrested !

This is the only way you get attention in South Africa.

Burning school is an act against the constitution. I.e right to education infringed. There should be investigations in this matter and perpetrators should be prosecuted.

How can you protest for better services when the services you have you destroy. Simply flippin mind blowing.

Goes for all schools as well!! 👇

Because the protesters are obtuse and actually have no idea why they are protesting or for what. So instead of improving their situation they make it far worse then before and suffer more. So rather then be constructive and part of the solution they become destructive

Burning wat ever property is stupidly iwors the school en truly speaking i do believe that there is no parent who can do that so protesters should keep watch of criminals sabotaging their children's future

I’m sure Ace is behind this!!😬

Stupid people do that.

Still stuck in the past burning and destroying infrastructure during apartheid made sense as many we denied those benefits. Now the same actions costs them access to their human rights as they forget they must pay for the damage and not improvements

Well, since NO ONE goes to jail for such acts, why not? We always hear how many people are arrest but none is jailed. How many are jailed from Tshwane violence pre 2016 local elections?

Our people are cursed

Easy, when you have an IQ of 70.

These protests require better leadership. Burn the Admin block and the headmasters office!

lol,,u burn is simple

Stupidity at best, only here in SA will you witness this kind of shit.

Stupid mense

Stupidity!! Utter stupidity!! Sadly, there's no cure for it, so we'll just continue to suffer from the actions of those who suffer from it.

With matches.

wow
