Only 13% of public schools in Gauteng are connected to the internet.
GAUTENG PREMIER’S AI DREAM EXPOSED AS CRUEL HOAX ON POOR CHILDREN. While students sit in crumbling classrooms WITHOUT POWER, Premier Panyaza Lesufi is demanding taxpayer money be funneled into flashy, AI-driven “classrooms of the future.” This is NOT ambition—it’s a SHAMELESS DISTRACTION from a catastrophic failure of basic governance.
A SHOCKING 87% of Gauteng’s public schools have NO INTERNECTIVITY. Yet Lesufi callously tells learners to ignore the lack of desks, electricity, and resources and “focus on AI.” This isn’t visionary leadership; it’s a PSYCHOLOGICAL BETRAYAL of an entire generation being left in the digital dark.
The Democratic Alliance has ripped the veil off this scandal, revealing the premier’s sci-fi fantasy is a calculated smokescreen. “At the current pace, full connectivity will only be achieved DECADES from now,” warns DA spokesperson Michael Waters. Today’s children will be middle-aged before they see the internet their premier uses for empty soundbites.
This is a NATIONAL DISGRACE. Over 16,000 schools across South Africa remain offline, a damning indictment of a government that prioritizes futuristic buzzwords over functional blackboards. Billions have been wasted, while rural and special schools are abandoned in an “infrastructure gap” that looks more like a canyon of neglect.
The brutal truth is this: The elite are preparing for AI, while the poor are being condemned to permanent obsolescence. This is how a nation engineers its own collapse, one disconnected child at a time.
