Non-paying parents urged to honour school fees Estelle.Bronkhorst Tue, 12/09/2025 - 05:55 JOHANNESBURG - As the Department of Education in Gauteng explores ways to address the funding shortfall, it s concerned about parents who are failing to meet their financial obligations at fee-paying schools.Gauteng Education MEC Matome Chiloane says it s worrying that some parents are spending money on luxury items, but failing to pay their child s school fees. If you assume that we ll wake up tomorrow and say we don t have money -- this is not a Gauteng problem, just to allay your concerns, Chiloane said. There s no mismanagement. In fact, we ve been very thrifty and prudent with our finances as a province. Others have collapsed, literally.
