    Material irregularities, parents must not pay any school fees in cash.

    Parents DO NOT pay school fees in cash. I got the previous treasurer Daniel Monchusi and D Troyman fired when I was sent there to audit and found material irregularities. The main school account was in overdraft but they made the auditor conveniently then reprint the financials that I compiled but Matt and the principal didn't want the GDE to see this. Radebe the principal and Daniel Monchusi also used school funds to buy personal groceries! They are also paying Cytech who is committing vat frau...

    Poor administration of the school

    My daughter in grade 8 got expected at the school. February is almost over no newsletter from the welcoming parents to 2026 old and new. It seems the administration of the school is very poor. Only civic and events they are sending out letters about important nothing at all. I'm so disappointed

    Die Fakkel worst experience

    I used to hear good comments about the school until I enrolled my kids there. Some teachers would be at school twice a week, and when they showed up, they would be busy on their phone. I tried complaining about it at the school as a concerned parent, but nothing was done about it. My son was bullied, had his lunch,pocket money and even his personal excessories taken away by the bullies. His foundation was not solid at all, after all this he was pushed to the next grade. I'm glad I removed my kids from the school and had them repeat the same grade. This was the best decision I ever took.

    Hoerskool Die Fakkel

    Hoerskool Die Fakkel is the worst school I've taken my daughter to that school they have bad sanitary the girls toilets are always dirty,my daughter got an infection from the toilets the principal is unruly, the teachers make the children fail because there isn't enough space for them in the next grade I think this school should be shut down. They don't even have spots.

    Poor service

    I have writing to request a copy of my last report from when I attended Hoor Skool Die Fakkel in 2012. I require this document for the completion of my matric education. Unfortunately, I have been unable to reach anyone at the school despite my daily phone calls over the past month. The phone simply rings without any answer .After trying for one month I eventually got in contact with reception who was not very helpful and I am still waiting for assistance or any type of communication regarding my query. I have missed the deadline for submitting this document due to not being able to get in contact with the school, but I have been granted extra time to obtain this report but due to no assistance I might not be able to continue with my studies. No further communication or assistance will result in me taking matters further due to the lack of communication and assistance from the school.

    Reports

    The school is the worst when it comes to adminstration and doing reports .it's been years now and children's reports always have mistakes .why work hard when you still going to have your report messed up? It's really demotivating ..
