Principles on the Cape Flats are concerned about their schools being targets of vandalism over the festive season.

A daily paper showed that various principles and staff on the Cape Flats concedes that computers, doors, window panes, door handles and other equipment had been stolen previous times.

The concern is that students get bored over the festive season, causing them to vandalise classrooms, says the principle at Manenberg High School

Gert Witbooi says that the responsibility should come not only from government, but from the community as well.

He says theft and vandalism is a problem over the December holidays due to boredom and some steal to support drug habits.
