New ‘back to school’ grant proposed for South Africa

[Pitbull]

Whats the cut off for financial assistance? Yearly I used to have to complete a form for an employee to hand into a school for his kids to get grants...With overtime he would net about R10-12k a month..his wife also worked.

Yea, I think combined income of R10k or something. Fk it, I just took a chance. The principle didn't think it funny. I asked him but I have 3 kids and they give me some silly reduction on fees because I have more than 1 in the school. They actually gave me a bigger discount after. But still, if not why not. I took a chance xD

I run past our local state school a couple of times a week...over Dec pretty much half the palisade fencing has now vanished and there is a new path leading from the veld, through the 'fence' up to the school and offices etc...
There is one unarmed security officer for the whole property and school

I suppose this one is now totally emptied of anything of any value/use...
As I imagine most are across this country these days..

I would like to point out that this is not the government proposing anything. It's a private group PMBEJD, allegedly and even so not a single source was provided in the article, just a bunch of quotes that is no where else to be found on the Internet.
