Gde online applications "does not work!!!"

Gde online registration and learner placement.. This does not work at all. We live within a 1.8km from any of the edenvale high schools. On Gde site the school shows still processing but Gde sms says child is placed in Bedfordview high (not in the best location and not technically in Bedfordview) first placement sms received 19 December 2025, appeal refusal received 2 January 2026.

My child was apparently number 606 on a waiting list and number 404 was last learner placed at Edenvale high school.. Lol could there really be 404 grade 8 learners within a 1.8km radius of the high schools in edenvale? Highly doubt this.

The person that rep**** to the appeal practically states I have to choose Bedfordview high without any further option.

Gde site does not work and the people doing the placements are definatly not looking at the documents they requested... (I am thinking the computers are just counting grade 8 student applications and randomly placing students in schools no matter the distance the learner lives from the requested schools)

To my understanding the learners that live closest to the school receive preference... This is definatly not the case.
