Although the admission deadline was set for last Wednesday, Limpopo Education Department spokesperson Matome Taueatsoala said the process was still ongoing.
He said the department would continue to verify late applications, pupils who were rejected, and new applicants who recently relocated to the city.
"The delivery of mobiles, which commenced on Friday last week, will alleviate the number of frustrated applicants who have been patiently waiting for placements. The department is adamant that all qualifying learners will be placed in due course."
