Two more FS schools involved in lockdown crime spate─── CATHY DLODLO 18:00 Thu, 16 Apr 2020
The number of Free State schools that have been affected by the spate of burglaries and vandalism during the national lockdown, has risen to 16 in just two days.
Provincial Education spokesperson, Howard Ndaba, confirmed the number of cases now under investigation by the police to OFM News.
He said the department will only be in a position to estimate the damage to primary and high schools after the lockdown, as part of the national government's fight against the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.
Ndaba says these are costs that were not budgeted for and put an extra burden on the department’s limited financial resources and its budget to address infrastructure backlogs in the province.
