947 Breakfast Club

Parents across Joburg are feeling the heat right now; it’s Grade 8 admissions season, and the stress is on another level. We got a message from a mom whose daughter is the Head Girl at a school, top marks, great kid but despite living just 2.8km from a school, she still hasn’t been placed. The GDE says the schools handle placements, the schools say the GDE does, and parents are stuck in the middle watching other families get SMSes,  On Facebook, it’s chaos, parents comparing notes, kids being placed at schools they never even applied for, and everyone asking the same question: how is this system actually working? So this morning, where are you trying to get your child into Grade 8, and what’s the drama around the placement? Hang out with Anele and The Club on 947 every weekday morning. Popular radio hosts Anele Mdoda, Frankie du Toit, Thembekile Mrototo, and Cindy Poluta take fun to the next level with the biggest guests, hottest conversations, feel-good vibes, and the best music
