And here we are eleven years later. What has changed? The other dynamic of this is that even where schools have facilities, they are underutilized. The curriculum is a joke, with spelling grammar, calculation mistakes being common. No teacher I know make use of the rubbish supplied to them by the department of education. Instead they spend their own money on buying privately written textbooks. The rot inside the education department needs to be rooted out as a starting point. There needs to be a clear focus on maths and science before anything else.

What happened with this case? WOW.

Coloured people stood up for black people...

cry about it

Interesting to see and hear this. I was one of the organisers of this protest march.

EE is the best 🤝🔥❤ maqabane✊

I as uHomba MAzaleni a child born in south africa and call this land home. I dedicate my being to the betterment of black basic education. Im 20 and I aware ill win miss SA and if not , ill do something bigger. I dedicate my being. I said I dedicate my being God.

Keep Zonnebloem open - Ex pupil Doreen Abrahams -

they must expropriate that land once!

what was the outcome?

this is incredibly hurtful in a country that allocates 15% of its total budget to basic education and yet children have to walk in such horrid conditions. as the adults in this country we have to account for allowing such things to continue to in our watch. it is shameful that black leadership would allow for this to take place to its own children and any other child. total disgrace

Great work

What ended up happening with this?

Thanks for this nice video. It gives clear info "why social auditing is so important". I'm a big supporter of Social Auditing. It's something that is not done properly still, even by the big companies. We used a template from a website, that worked out well. It also has screenshots with explanation how people can arrange their own SA8000 Social Audit: www.allbusinesstemplates.com/template/2WWUB/social-audit-china-social-accountability-8000-template/

Glad they got new toilets? But what the heck? Being taught from childhood how to strike For something they fucked up themselves? Cigarettes, broken doors, graffiti. And they're proud because they got government to fix it again? Youth are dumb. They would've gotten a thumbs up if they figured out how to fix it themselves. That's a proper campaign. Typical South African nature to demand things in the streets

Brilliant..the power of doing something instead of just complaining and waiting for someone else to fix things...viva EE viva!

that's exactly what we want keep on doing good work guy thank you and for a point of view you must make comparison so that you can show the difference.

i was studying at Mkhuhlane kop its fine and now im doing my final year at varsity

What an amazing video! Truly inspiring and eye opening. We also believe in that simple statement that "everyone has the right to education". This is why we feel FET colleges are so important in South Africa as well - especially for those who do not have Matric, who can still get training or even Matric equivalent qualifications. But still, the school system needs to be able to support the children of our country, rather than fail them.

I go to King Edward High School in Matatiele and it is fine

The disgusting thing is that education gets more money than anything else in South Africa. R232.5 billion is budgeted for education in 2013, of which R23 Billion is set aside for school infrastructure. Do these schools look like the beneficiaries of those Billions of Rands? As a taxpayer, I've contributed to those Billions, I'd like to see them spent where it's meant to be spent.

yoh... can this just change though? no man, kids can't live like this...

Many of our school's , especially within the rural areas require immediate attention, as the infrastructure within the school is not adequate, and the learners safety and level of education is jeapordised, it is now that those of higher authority take a stand and bring out the faults of the department so that proper measures can be putin place to make sure that every learner recieves an education!!

Wish more people would take the initiative! We could all pull together and fix the infrastructures of rural schools in the areas where we live

watching this is truly heartrending...and yet our so-called 'selfless leaders' are cruising around in German luxury cars...getting rid of this scum is the first and most urgent task faced by this country.

the saddest part is that this is not even the worst cases. it is much worse

Very good video, of course it will have no impact on voting trends. And it won't change a thing.

An excellent video showcasing an absolute atrocity. Surely it is now time to do something for the future of this beautiful country and its future generations.

Great video and an amazing cause. Any one who's not on board does not take South Africa's future seriously. It all starts with education. Amazing work Equal Education!

Minister do your job and keep your promises. We demand Binding Minimum Norms and Standards for School Infrastructure. FIX OUR SCHOOLS

Symbolism is the name of the game

Keep up the good work Equal Education. We cannot do without you or many schools and children will suffer without proper education. It is so important for schools to have the necessities of life and to have libraries and communication systems in place. It seems that ministers are too busy feathering their own nests and ensuring their children have the best while forgetting those who need them the most.

Wll done EE, Angie has failed us and millions of children of SA.

This is an exceptional animation and an incredibly important message ! I'll be sharing this video on my FB status. How do we go about "having our say"?

If I were the Minister, I'd reply "NEVER", to sending my child to this school. BRAVO to Equal Education for taking up this critical fight. Sharing.

My school has a Science lab and we have never used it smh

I know I have no right to comment on this being English but every person had a right to a basic education it is exceedingly important that every chicken every person has the right to access education on an equal level, it is also exceedingly important that every single student receives a level of support that they need this to succeed in life.

Whait WHAT?

Haha, great minds perhaps. It's also said that fools seldom differ.

Join this cause for god sake, just do it!

Because of low education standards there is cheap labor and there are those (almost everyone) who take advantage of this for economical gain. Those who gain are the educated. If the mental awareness begins to reach an equilibrium and there is a level thought plain that all South Africans are on, maybe then we can become a safe country. We must not forget; the government is small and the people are millions, they should be afraid of us!!

Wow reading this I'm seeing you already kind of said what I just said... Great minds

There has been many government projects that give people things for free, mostly these things go to waste. The many farms given to previously disadvantaged people, that lay barren and no longer produce food and revenue are a prime example. You can't just throw money at a problem, and that is what you are asking. This problem is much more complex than it is made out to be here, and some statements are a bit misleading. The point is that the problem must be solved by addressing the cause.

Great initiative. Time we get this message out.

Hi, see the description for the link. The infrastructure statistics come from the National Education Infrastructure Management System (NEIMS) Report.

We must write to our municipalities.

South Africa will rise, we all deserve the chance to grow and rise.

Compelling video! Could you please give a citation for your statistics and post a link? I checked your website but couldn't find the figures u cite...

I commend your vision, and yes improving school infrastructure is the start. The teacher/educator in these dreamed of infrastructures is however the major key to unlocking equal education, to quote Professor Jonathan D. Jansen "more teachers opt out of education even though their bodies - for reason of money only - remain in the classroom".herein lies the major challenge.

Viva. Alluta Continua. Foward with the court case
