The legal battle began in 2002 between the province and three NPOs– Engo, the Provincial Management Committee of Youth Care Centres and the National Association of Welfare and Not-for-Profit organisations.
Department of basic education spokesperson Elijah Mhlanga said two schools in KwaZulu-Natal and one in Gauteng had been targeted.
In a separate incident, two people were killed after allegedly being caught by members of the community while attempting to break into a school in Soweto, where deliveries of essentials had just been made. Basic education minister Angie Motshekga condemned the killings and urged communities to work with law-enforcement officials.
“We appeal to members of the community not to take the law into their own hands. Communities must protect schools against vandalism but must ensure at all times that violence does not occur. We request that the community should rather work with the police to bring suspected perpetrators to justice," she said.
