The School Governing Body (SGB) reported that an application was submitted to the Department of Education requesting proper infrastructure and this application was approved by the Department. The new infrastructure was supposed to be built in June 2008 but nothing was done. Since the school was declared a section 21 school in 2009, an amount of R80 000 was transferred to it by the Provincial Department of Education for maintenance, books, stationery and other necessities. The 10 per cent from the schools allocated budget that should have been transferred in January for day-to-day running of the school was only transferred in July 2010. The 45 per cent tranche from the schools allocated budget had not been received at the time of the visit. It was indicated that children of about 12 years walk about 10 kilometers to fetch water from the river. This is done during school hours and significantly impacts on the learning schedule.
