Really interesting series of articles. Since 1994 the Govt has built schools at far slower rate than before 1994. I just don't get it. The ANC govt also scrapped compulsory school sport. Unbelievable. They sat back & expected KFC, Coca- Cola & the likes of Ali Bacher to do it all? The emerging 'middle range' private schools such as Curro, Stadio & others might plug some gaps. Govt is never, ever going to step up. Forget it. They are already cutting budgets & increasing VAT. Incentivising will have to be capped. Like salary caps in football- otherwise yes teams will 'hoard' & bench players. An expensive elite school in the townships will be robbed blind in this crime ridden country of ours. Even govt schools get 'cleaned' out during school holidays. Nice idea, but unsustainable. Close family member assaulted, tied up and robbed last week. So, I am feeling very negative at present. The current system we have at present, will have to do. Govt does not care really- they are only interested in window- dressing. "You are on your own".
Unfortunately it's not easy to build and maintain those world class facilities without a lot of money.
