Question NW120 to the Minister of Basic Education
09 April 2020 - NW120
Thembekwayo, Dr S to ask the Minister of Basic Education
Whether her department intends to provide security services for Nzamo Primary School in Soweto, Orlando West, Gauteng; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, by what date is it envisaged that security will be available?
Reply:
Currently the Gauteng Department of Education (GDE) is utilizing the services of patrollers through CPF (Community Policing Forum) to qualifying schools. Nzamo Primary School did not constitute part of the services of patrollers. As per the number of reported burglaries, the school will be put on the patroller programme. The envisaged period of deployment will be linked to the re-opening of schools for the second term.
