DA To Once Again Conduct Oversight At Eldridge Primary School

Today, Thursday 23 June 2016, DA Gauteng Shadow MEC for Education, Khume Ramulifho MPL, and Ward Councillor Peter Rafferty will conduct an oversight visit at Eldridge Primary School in Eldorado Park, Johannesburg.

The school has been plagued with infrastructure issues since the school refurbishment project started in 2013. Poor project management and an unclear mandate between the Departments of Education and Infrastructure Development has led to misuse of R18 million at the school.

During an oversight visit conducted by the DA earlier this year, it was found that refurbishment to the school was abandoned by the contractor and the work remains incomplete.

The DA will monitor the progress of this project and whether or not the Gauteng Department of Education has successfully renovated classrooms and maintained the facilities.

Date: Thursday, 23 June 2016

Time: 09h00

Venue: Eldridge Primary School, 38 Bokkeveld Crescent, Eldorado Park

There will be opportunities for interviews and photographs.
