The Leeufontein Primary School is a primary school for farmworkers' children. It has no proper ablution facilities, no recreation facilities, is poorly constructed and has inadequate learning and teaching facilities. During bad weather teaching and learning at this school come to a standstill, whereas just a kilometre away there is the Kameelfontein Primary School, which has good teaching and learning facilities, sufficient ablution facilities, recreation and adequate teaching facilities. This is a school for farm owners' children and property owners' children in the area of Leeufontein and Kameelfontein in Roodeplaat. Thus, as we are in March, human rights month, equality before the law should prevail. The doors of learning should further be opened for all, including children of Leeufontein Primary School, by integrating the learners to enjoy the existing Kameelfontein Primary School facilities. These disparities between the two schools are not compatible with the spirit of South Africa in its 13th year of democracy and freedom. These social ills must be eradicated.
Hence we, in the ANC, urge the governing body of Kameelfontein Primary School to open their school for admission of Leeufontein Primary School learners so that the children of the same community could attend the same school and share the available resources. I thank you. [Applause.]
