He says they want to wrap up all meetings with various stakeholders, but was adamant that the protest over the road in question is not over yet.

It was announced by the Northern Cape education department yesterday, that pupils from grade one to eleven, will have to repeat their grades next year. Matriculants will be assisted and will write supplementary exams in February.
