In the same breadth, Gugu Malandule expressed her frustration as she was still going to apply for admission for three children. According to Malandule, they are forced to get a new school because she has a new job and a house in Mattafin and was forced to relocate from Marite to Mattafin.
“My mother passed away last year in November, so my kids were left with no one to look after them as I am working this side. I then decided to relocate them and get them a school here so that I can assist them with homework,” Malandule stated.
Meanwhile, newly enrolled grade eight learners from Cyril Clark secondary school were being placed in their respective classrooms.
