[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 873908, member: 40658"] Ugh! What that moron in the video forgot to mention is that there are directives with regard to schoolkids and where they should be educated. It's a matter of regionality and access. Each province have their own directive, and some have more strict directives than others. Some directives even mention that certain schools that doesn't have a hostel, are not allowed to take kids living farther than 50km away from the school. Which, in Limpopo, is a very harsh directive as most of Limpopo is farmland, and the schools are in the city. And in many cases there aren't schools closer than 80km's from certain towns/settlements. I guess that that video was more aimed at the private schools? But then again, they have their own directives, and their Governing Body can have a system in place preventing certain kids from being admitted to schools. The biggest problem that this guy is missing, is that at all these schools, Academics come first, sport comes 2nd. And it's usually the case that sporty kids doesn't always do so well in academics, and would rather go to a public school where it's a little bit easier than in the private school system. That video, is again just showing 5% of the problem and not the other 95%. [/QUOTE]
