The pupils at Noncedo Public School in Thornpark said their teachers ignored them and preferred to watch soapies.
Firefighers from Buffalo City Metro rushed to the scene just after 4pm to fightthe blaze, but arrived too late to save the rundown building.

The headmaster’s office, the staff room and some classrooms were already gutted.

Why not report the teachers and get provincial authorities to come and catch them while watching soapies on duty?

Why burn down a school? (Like in apartheid times)

Now they can blame a lack of education again as there is no school facilities available.
 
The teacher's not teaching thing is very common place in the rural areas of the Transkei.
It's actually frightening the amount of children not being taught, what little hope they have BUT they will want everything they see.
 
They are learners, not pupils.

Pupils studied, did well in sports, beautified schools and school grounds, were proud of their shools, thought bad of a pregnant school girl, went to varsity and either paid for it with or without loans or earned bursaries with good marks and respected their teachers.

You expect the above from learners. No more and no less.

Viva... anc. Viva.

Which schools were burned down during apartheid?
 
I know of a school on the way to Mazeppa Bay that has been rebuilt 3 times due to vandalism and the "burning"

A lot of schools have been burned down in protests in apartheid times. In fact, as many of them were rebuilt, they were burnt down again.

Feel free to do a Google search and you will find thousands of references to schools being burned down during apartheid years.

This will be good information for those who did not live during those years, but for us who have, we have experienced it first-handedly.

Now they won't just be ignored by their teachers, they have no school to go to. Not very clever.

Ah well, just another bunch who'll end up uneducated, at least my children will be assured of gardeners and maids to work for them.

Why can't they do it themselves? You can't trust the help these days.

I didn't know soapies are broadcasted in the mornings.

That's why they're called soapies. From when women weren't allowed to work, they'd stay at home watching these series with soap ads during them. Hence "soapies".
 
Sad thing is that it was probably a group of delinquents who did this and now all the other pupils are left with nothing - although by the sounds of it they weren't getting anything in the way of education to begin with anyway - I hope they can identify and prosecute those responsible...

Yes, definately. To be honest though, I'm struggling to find any material documenting schools being burned down during those years.

Not saying there will be official documents proving this, as I believe this is something the ANC government will not add in history books. But, there are many, many references to schools being burned down. I managed to find a few on my first search on Google:

:erm: alright then
 
Why not rather, if you have to burn something, burn the teachers house or the MEC's house or the ANC officials house who is incharge of them. Make people responsible and they will change. Right now they get to watch soapies from home because they don't have to go to school.

But the correct way is to go to the media or lately Juliaaas to get things out in the open.
