Gauteng schools reopened on Wednesday for the 2026 academic year.
While many parents welcomed their children’s first day, others were left frustrated by the Gauteng Department of Education’s online application system.
EFF MMC for Health and Social Development and Chairperson of Sub-Region C, Ennie Makhafola, did an oversight inspection and provided assistance to parents.
This initiative is part of the EFF’s annual #UmntanaEskolweni campaign to defend the constitutional rights of children in South Africa.
This campaign is aimed at restoring dignity, access and safety of pupils.
