Despite the Minister of Education’s address role played by Mr. Kutloano Mohlaba where he highlighted that their ministry collaborated with Ministry of Social Development to deliver much needed aid to vulnerable children as the way of reducing events of struggling families and also to ensure that students do not drop out of schools due to lack of fees, uniforms and teaching aids.
