The Committee interacted with the school governing body (SGB), as well as educators and was briefed on the challenges facing the school ever since there was talk of a possible merger of the school. The main issues of the meeting were the challenges on how to proceed with the proposed merger and terms and conditions in the event that such a merger did take place. Relocation of the school from Groot Drankenstein to Stellenbosch was also another bone of contention. It transpired during the meeting that the Provincial Department of Education has been offered a piece of land to where the school could be relocated, but due to a misunderstanding between the officials representing the department and the SGB of the school that plan did not materialise. The oversight visit to the school provided the delegation with an in-depth understanding of the situation at Nondzame Primary School.
