“They broke into our school during the Easter weekend and took stuff from the offices. Papa, they also took our projectors and computers.” We can’t just sit back and watch our children’s future being stolen away by criminals, writes TimSpiritMolobi
“They broke into our school during the Easter weekend and took stuff from the offices. Papa, they also took our projectors and computers.”
I had no answers to all these questions as I was paralysed by what I had just heard. This is not the first time that the school had a break-in. But this is the reality we are living with. Almost every week a school is being vandalised by thugs. A few months ago, a week after opening the R105 million state-of-the-art Menzi Primary School in Tsakane, it was robbed. Items stolen included 185 tablets, eight laptops, two projectors, three desktop computers, a plasma TV and R500 in petty cash.Read:Now the big question is: What do we do as communities when our children’s future is affected and compromised?
Just this week a video of two men lifting a gate was trending on social media. It was clear the gate was removed from someone’s yard to be sold as a scrap metal for way, way less than its value.We are quick to protest against the lack of facilities and poor living conditions but I have not heard any of us condemning these acts of hooliganism.
