Private schools
Regarding private schools which may have already opened, Mzwandile Matthews, an advisor to the minister noted that the department is optimistic that these schools will consider opening and closing as stated by the deputy minister following consultations with both the National Alliance of Independent School Associations (NAISA) and the Independent Schools Association of Southern Africa (ISASA). The determination made was that both NAISA and ISASA will persuade the schools that have reopened to follow the reopening protocols. The ones that have not yet opened will be persuaded to consider delaying the reopening, Matthews said.
