South African school refuses to register Malawian children

Malawians who want to illegally stay in South Africa so that their children should get educated in the country will have to think twice as some schools in the rainbow country have started to bar illegal immigrants from registering their children with them.

Malawi24 has learnt that Malawians staying in South Africa are among foreign nationals who were turned away by a principal at a Primary School in Johannesburg where they went to enroll their children for the 2016 academic year.

The principal told the Malawians that the school won’t take in kids of illegal immigrants.

The actual number of affected children could not be established but a source told Malawi24 that over 50 children were turned away by the school’s principal on Thursday last week.

The worrying part is that some of the parents said they had valid documents. South African schools opened on Wednesday last week.

One of the concerned parents who has a child at the school and spoke to journalists on condition of anonymity said he is worried about his child’s future.

He further said parents were told to approach the Department of Home Affairs to resolve the dispute.

Gauteng province’s Department of Education spokesperson, Oupa Bodibe, confirmed the barring of foreigners at their schools.

“What we gather is that the headmaster asked the parents to bring their documents otherwise the children would not be registered for this academic year. The documents regularizing their stay are needed for registration at the school,” said Bodibe.

Bodibe further apologized to the concerned parents and assured them that the issue will be resolved as soon as possible.

“We are deeply concerned about what is happening in schools. We will engage with the Minister of Basic Education, Mrs Angie Motshekga, to come up with a solution to this issue. These children know nothing,” he said.

“They do not understand anything about illegal migration and honestly they cannot be deprived of their right to education.”

  11. Wonder where or which street you got this information , many at times I have always indicated that it is important to make a research before you put pen to paper because the results is the insults you are now getting, the truth is unlike many countries in Africa!! Southafrica is the most decent country in the way they handle things ,to get registered at a school they need paper for the parent and the birth certificate of the child in real sense if a child goes to school without reliable information and something happens how do you think are they ever going to trace or make a followup, remember child theft is high these days ,it is high time our poor country gets civilised in that regard for effeciency ,even rent you can’t rent a house without signing a contract it looks awkward but helps a lot in times of need

  22. To know the problem RSA is facing let’s put it this way

    In Malawi we let any foreigner on permit or illegal staying into our schools. The Burundi guys,somalia ,moshco, taifas and Indian to send his boy/ girl to our schools. Will it be good?

    Its a migration crisis the world is facing

    1. Its not like in Malawi they let illegal foreigners,but its their system which is vulnerable.How can they get it right if the system doesn’t implement compulsory birth & id registry.So anyone who can enter into such a country with such a system is bound to be “legal” for as long as he/she can speak their local language.

  42. I don’t think it’s about *RACISM* as other may think/say . It’s in their constitution and time has come to put that in action . Have you ever think what could happen if the parent has been arrested for being in a country illegally while the child is class?
