Have you ever heard of protesters burning down a fire station? 🤔

And the fire station had NOTHING to do with why they are protesting?

Yeah... that is South Africa for you... f**ckin idiots sending a message to the rest of the world that all of SA is retarded 🙄.

SA does have a gravely lacking education system, not sure that means they are retarded. More they want change quick. They are doing nothing more than the Americans did in the war of independence! No different to The French revolution, etc.etc.etc. ☺

@SW-User Actually the education system is NOT lacking... only CERTAIN SCHOOLS IN CERTAIN AREAS are not properly managed and teachers are lazy.

@SW-User 🤦 Oh boy... the school in question was one of those I just mentioned "IN CERTAIN ARREARS".

Sure maybe compared to other countries it may seem bad, but it is incorrect in stating our ENTIRE EDUCATION SYSTEM is bad as this is totally incorrect.

As I explained (based on what I have seen for myself) most of those schools are not managed properly, the teachers are lazy (just want a pay check but have NO calling to actually be a teacher), lessons are done in languages some student do not understand.. etc...

What reports state and what is actually happening at those schools are usually 2 different things. The REAL issues are not reported on.

The rest of the ENTIRE EDUCATION SYSTEM is excellent.
