“These are indeed challenging, difficult and unprecedented times. It’s important that we come together as South Africans. We have a history of coming together to overcome serious challenges. The coronavirus challenge is one of these and cannot be underestimated. I am confident that in the medium term we will overcome these challenges,” said Patrice Motsepe.
Medium-term interventions include building additional classrooms, computer centres and laboratories in all nine provinces of the country to reduce the “excessively high number of students per classroom” in the context of the current pandemic.
