"Financial Crisis Hits Eastern Cape School: Department's Debt to Teachers Reaches Alarming Levels A school in the Eastern Cape is on the brink of closure due to a crippling debt owed to its teachers by the provincial education department. The staggering sum of R700,000 in unpaid salaries has left the school's staff struggling to make ends meet, sparking concerns about the department's ability to manage its finances. The situation has been exacerbated by a long-standing dispute between the department and the teachers' union over salary payments, which has left many educators without a steady income. As the school's closure looms, parents and teachers are calling on the department to take immediate action to resolve the crisis and ensure the school's future remains secure."
