Scenario 1: Thuto Primary School
 
Thuto Primary school has invested in a number of computers for learners and educators at the school. Some of these computers have been placed in a reserved section of the staff room. This allows educators to access information from the internet, send e-mails to educator associations and produce learning materials in their free periods. As a security measure, the staff room computers are networked separately from computers that learners access. In the last month, internet connectivity had been very poor. In most instances, no one was able to get online at the school. At the end of the month, the school received an enormous electricity bill. On investigation, it was discovered that community members had been (and still were) taking electricity from the school illegally.

How should this situation be resolved? What steps would you take, firstly, to rectify the situation and, secondly, to prevent it from happening again?
