Chairperson, hon Kganare, we announced that we had not closed the schools, so we did imply that anybody who wanted to go to work should go to work.
Schools were not closed. People who wanted to go to school would have been able to go to school, but in incidents where we picked up violence, where members felt that they were unable to risk their lives, there were measures put in place to enable them to report and work with the districts for purposes of safety.
So, we did all we could and the schools were open. That is why schools that were not threatened by serious violence were able to continue. And those that were unable to continue because there were incidents that made them felt unsafe therefore did not attend school.
They did communicate with the district, that would then make sure from the police that it was indeed not viable for them to attend schools. So, there were measures put in place to do exactly what you understand was supposed to have happened.
