GDE online Registration for grade 1 and 8

It's sad enough that we have to be told which schools our children should belong to while we will be the ones paying the school fees and registration fees. on top of all this nonsense the department has no understanding of their own system which hasn't been working since day one, our government is really failing us. all this new MEC does is address us he doesn't even give us a platform to ask him about this stupid system. our children are still not placed and it's almost 5 months now.
