Examinations for Grades 8 to 11 at Brackenfell High School will be rescheduled ahead of a planned protest by the EFF on Friday. Education MEC Debbie Schafer says arrangements have also been made to ensure that the matrics writing Physical Sciences that morning “can do so without disruption”. Schafer said the EFF has been granted permission by the City of Cape Town for 100 members to protest outside the school from midday on Friday.
