Over the past week or so - parents blocked the entrance to Mzwamandla Khanyile Primary School in protest. 

They say the repeated break-ins at the school have left them questioning the safety of their children on the premises.

Education's Kwazi Mthethwa says they are working on a solution. But, he says everyone needs to be involved.

"Besides budgetary constraints that obviously deny us an opportunity to hire more security personnel - this is a scourge that requires the whole community. You can install a state of the art security but if the community is not willing to come on board, then you'll never succeed," Mthethwa said.
