PHOTOS: School to get roof after 5 years

That's after protesting pupils and parents forced a shutdown two weeks ago. 

They demanded the Limpopo Education Department repair roofs that were damaged during storms five years ago. 

Community representative Godfrey Molapo said the department promised to provide mobile classrooms while repairs were being done. 

"The twelve-day shutdown was not easy, but we have realised government would drag its feet if pupils attend school before an agreement is reached," he said.

Limpopo government spokesperson Phuti Seloba said they're prioritising repairs at a school.

"It is a serious problem, we are in a rainy season. Whether people are disrupting or they are not disrupting, if it rains learners cannot go tho school," he said.
