Still liberating with their boxes of matches and substandard building materials..

Africa cannibalising its children again, what's new?

The font used looks a little too "Gothic" for my liking.

Looks as if someone outsourced that job to their mate who makes tombstones.

 

[R13...]

Is it supposed to be "rebuild of the year" or "rebuilt in the year"? How ironic for a school.

Sad that the one thing we desperately need (schools) is getting so little priority by government. Projects like this should be monitored regularly and every aspect of the spending and building process should be scrutinized. We cannot afford stuff-ups like this.

surprised people are surprised by this.
Probably only used 10k to build the school and stole the rest

Missed the sarcasm font

Correct English would be “rebuilt in the year”, notice the fudged mistake in “funded” as well.

Haha! Poot this...*reaches for scribble on crumpled paper in pocket*...on this... *points at smallest off-cut on the factory floor*.

Is that POS even attached to the wall? Or did they just sort of prop it up there on the way out?

 

[Seriously]

Happen everywhere. Anyone saw the huge cracks all over in the Thelle Mogoerane Government Hospital (Vosloorus hospital)? Opened August 2014.

 

[Brawler]

White monopoly capital.

Can't wait to see what eff and blf have to say. Probably nothing.

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

Well they probably knew it was just going to be burned down again, so why bother doing a good job

Proudly South African

School probably cost less than a million, rest shared amongst the facilitators

For R28m I'd expect a top of the line computer centre, restaurant, hot water in every class, whole school covered with wifi, undercover parking, amphitheatre, gym and an indoor sports arena.

Solution, vote cANCer in 2019.

In South Africa we could definitely have a "rebuild of the year" award.

Winner of this year's 'educational institutions and public libraries' award goes to...*drumroll*


That plaque though...what a cherry on the top of an absolute slap in the face. I guess a POS school is better than no school though hey, Vuwani.
