WATCH: Classes resume at Limpopo school following stormy weather

Heavy rains left several classrooms damaged and roofless two weeks ago.

Parents sought the help of local businesses and did the repairs themselves.

Makhanani Maluleke pitched in to assist.

"The Limpopo education department told us it would take time to repair as there are other schools facing the same issues," she said.

"That's why I'm thanking the community and encourage everyone to continue to work together."

But supplies ran out and one more classroom needs repairs, with parents calling on the education department to come to their rescue.

"We have a plan to renovate the school, but it's dependent on the resources available," department spokesperson Naledzani Rasila said.

Pupils were ecstatic to be back in class.

Dineo Lekgothwane said education is important.

"We want to be educated. I am very thankful to the parents who did the repairs. They did a very good job."
