ActionSA is deeply alarmed by the unacceptable state of school readiness in the Francis Baard District. The Department of Education has failed to allocate the necessary funding to schools, leaving many Quintile 1 and 2 schools unable to provide even the most basic resources. Despite contributing through taxes, parents are now forced to bear the additional financial burden of purchasing textbooks and learner-teacher support materials (LTSM) that should have been supplied by the Department. This mismanagement undermines the principle of free basic education and places an undue financial strain on already struggling households.
ActionSA is deeply disheartened by the continued delays in our joint litigation against the eThekwini Metro, which directly hinder efforts to hold the municipality accountable for its failure to provide basic services, by repairing sewerage infrastructure.
