Kuruman - The Joe Morolong Forum in Kuruman has denied any involvement in the fire that destroyed the Ditshipeng Primary School’s administration building. This, after the Northern Cape education department said they believe the forum was responsible for last night's arson at the school, some 70km north of Kuruman.
Forum chairperson, Kagisho Gaborokwe, says the community is fed-up with the local government’s lack of service delivery.
The forum accepts that the community burnt down the building out of anger and frustration, but Gaborokwe denied that the forum was directly involved.
Schooling in the area came to a halt over a month ago, as members of the community started to protest over a road they want tarred.
