DA‚ Sadtu raise concerns about dire overcrowding in KZN schools

As the South African Democratic Teachers’ Union (Sadtu) prepares to march on the KwaZulu-Natal education department to protest against packed classrooms‚ figures released by the Democratic Alliance (DA) on Thursday revealed that 387 of the province’s schools are overcrowded. DA MPL Mbali Thuli said the department had confirmed that the province was plagued with overcrowding‚ despite comments earlier in the week by education MEC Peggy Nkonyeni that this was not a problem.
