The Portfolio Committee on Basic Education on Basic Education has noted with grave concern reports of the renewal of demarcation protests and the shut-down of services in the Vuwani area of Limpopo.

Committee Chairperson Ms Nomalungelo Gina expressed the Committee’s wish for a speedy resolution to these matters, particularly as they have a spill-over effect on schooling and education in the area. “The Committee is extremely concerned. Although this protest is not about education, it spills over to school.

“We urge all relevant stakeholders to urgently intervene and resolve the matter. It cannot be allowed to continue to the extend it did last year when so many school days were lost,” said Ms Gina.

In 2016, protests over the same issue dragged on for months and saw various schools and government buildings burnt and vandalised. “This matter needs a speedy solution. We would not want a repeat of last year. Learners cannot afford to lose schooling,” Ms Gina said.
