The South African Human Rights Commission -SAHRC, says it has been monitoring school admissions programmes over the years and has noted a systemic problem of learners not being placed or not being placed on time in the Gauteng province and other parts of the country. The Commission says this amounts to a direct threat to the constitutional right of every child to basic education, which, under section 29 of the Constitution and jurisprudence, is immediately realizable and not subject to the availability of resources, with the SAHRC saying failure to admit learners disrupts continuity in teaching and learning.  To discuss this issue further, we're joined on the line by Zamantungwa Mbeki, Provincial Manager  at SAHRC Gauteng province.
