Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes with serious contempt that learners of the Konani Pfunzo Combined School, a farm school located along the N1 between Beitbridge and Musina in Limpopo, are forced to travel over 100 kilometres to Biaba township to write their senior certificate examination because their school is not registered with Umalusi;
2) further notes that the farm owner and the Department of Education are currently engaging in a blame game as to who has to take responsibility for the utter disregard of the educational needs of the learners who are subjected to the harshest and laborious walk on a daily basis when they are expected to write their crucial final exams; and
3) takes this opportunity to call on the Minister of Basic Education and the MEC for education in the Limpopo province to intervene to ensure that the learners are immediately given transport to travel to the school until the situation is resolved.
Motion agreed to in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution.
