ActionSA barred from handing over school supplies
19 January 2023
After being barred from entering the school to conduct a site inspection and to handover school materials, the Amajuba Caucus Leader, Faziel Cassim and myself stood outside the school’s locked gates to assess the situation.
A tin-style classroom located at the back of the school, housed foundation phase pupils who were visibly in the middle of a class session. With the heat in Newcastle reaching temperatures of 40 Degrees Celsius, one can only imagine the heat those pupils have to endure during this heat wave.
What is most concerning is the bringing together of two to three different grades into one classroom, with the presence of a single teacher.
