JOHANNESBURG - The Gauteng Education Department conceded that government had struggled for years to provide Goza Primary School in Soweto with reliable water and it was now urging private companies to help more public schools with basic infrastructure.
Earlier this year, Eyewitness News revealed how the Goza Primary School, which accommodates 1,400 pupils, had been forced to come up with its own survival plan after being failed by government.
