Education spokesperson Muzi Mahlambi played down the delay, saying: “The event is scheduled to start at 10am, it’s now 8.15. We are still on the good track. People that are here are officials on duty and some of you [media] collecting accreditation. Some people [pupils, parents and school officials] came from afar, and that is why they are here.
“We should start going in at about 9am. I am told the police dogs are still sweeping the venue; after that they will hand it over to the department.
“We knew in advance of the event. We started advertising the event three weeks ago which is an indication that everything was in order.”
