Despite a media invitation from the DA, the Record was denied access to Hoërskool Roodepoort earlier today, 6 February.
The DA’s Spokesperson on Education, Khume Ramulifho MPL, would have done an oversight inspection at the school in light of the tragedy at Hoërskool Driehoek in Vanderbijlpark.

One person said, “The problems at the school are a disaster waiting to happen”.
