Gauteng MEC for education Matome Chiloane has assured parents that when schools open tomorrow, their children looking to start primary and secondary school will all have places.

“We are aware that some parents have not yet had their children placed in schools but we want to ensure that their children will be in school. We are working around the clock to ensure that those children are placed,” Chiloane told journalists at Hoërskool Jeugland in Kempton Park on Tuesday 10 January.
