There is daily praise to government in schools of Vuwani area, Limpopo. This follows the delivery of Mobile Classrooms to schools in the area. The teachers, learners, parents and members of the Schools Governing Bodies (SGB’s) are seen receiving the classes with least smile of relief in their faces.
“We want our kids back to class. The damage here was aimed at destroying the lives of our children. We can see classes may not be enough for now but this is a sign that our government cares for people of Vuiwani” Said Mr Mashau at the Vhudzani Secondary School in Ha-Mashau.
Classrooms, admin block and the storeroom have been torched during the recent protests in this school. Vhudzani is one of the schools receiving eight Mobile Classrooms.
