Eastern Cape looking forward to school transport again

Lusanda Bill

The Eastern Cape transport department has taken over the province’s scholar transport programme.

Transport MEC Thandiswa Marawu says the poorest of the poor will get preference, with particular focus on pupils from farm and rural schools.

Thousands of Eastern Cape pupils have had to walk to school this year after the education department suspended its transport programme due to financial constraints.
