Chiloane says there will be a zero tolerance approach to disruptions in and around exam centres in the province.   

He said, “We are urging communities that even if they want to strike for whatever reasons, keep away from our schools.” 

“Schools should not be disrupted for whatever reasons and harsh actions will be taken against those who may try to disrupt exams but should there be such, harsh actions should be taken to ensure that there’s no disruption at all at any of our schools in particular our schools or examination centres where our children will be writing these exams.”
