Johannesburg – A Soweto family is disappointed in the Gauteng Department of Education for failing to enrol their 9-year-old disabled son into a school.
“We have been trying to get Mandla into school since he was 6 but we keep being sent from pillar to post. The last time we were told that it’s Covid-19 and the school they referred us to can’t help us,” Ntombela said. “My grandson never asked to be born this way and all I want is for him to be a happy child. He can communicate to a certain degree, like when he wants food he will put a dish in front of me,” she said.
“Looking after Mandla is a full-time job. Sometimes he can go to the toilet by himself but sometimes he messes in his pants. When he is not understood he gets angry and throws things around,” she said.
