Classrooms donated to Vuwani school

The new building was donated to the community by M. Shandukani Foundation after the school was burnt during the municipality demarcation protest in the area.
The project started early August and is expected to be completed by November 22.
The new building consists of 15 classrooms with an office in each and an administration building.
The building is expected to start operating first thing when the next academic year starts.
“I am happy that we are the first school to get a new building after the protests and we are very thankful to the donor” said the principal, Thenga Mashau.
“The community is happy for the new structure, unfortunately some of us will not be here to use it but my advice to learners who will be using it next year is that they take care of it because some people were not as blessed as we are here in Vhafamadi,” said Sidimela Nirini, a Grade 12 learner.
The Vhafamadi will be the only one of 31 schools that received a new building since the protest in Vuwani.
Grade 12 learners from Vuwani had to relocate to three centres during the protests.
The traditional leaders then took the decision to allow schooling after three months of protest.
Since then learners, teachers and community put all the dedication to education.
Examinations in the Province are continuing smoothly except for the Mathematics paper 2 that leaked last week in the area of Giyani.
It was found during the preliminary investigations that the original leak of this paper was in Gauteng.
The department is continuing with investigations with the help of law enforcement agencies.
