Gauteng Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi said when phase one applications officially closed on September 3, the department had recorded a total of 351 169 applications.

“Our team will still be available for assistance during phase two applications on all our social media platforms, our decentralised walk-in centres and our call centre on 0800 000 789.
