Gauteng Education | Outstanding municipal payments affect schooling

Gauteng schools owe municipalities across the province almost 600-million rand.

This has resulted in hundreds of public schools, particularly no-fee paying schools, experiencing water and electricity disconnections.

Earlier this month, the High Court in Pretoria ordered the City of Tshwane to immediately reconnect the electricity supply to schools that had their power disconnected over unpaid property rates.

SABC News Reporter Sashin Naidoo caught up with Gauteng Education MEC, Lebogang Maile and filed this report.
