Workers on Wednesday.

The school is expecting at least 500 matric markers today.

The workers want an increase in payment for accommodating the markers.

In previous years, they received R360; this year they want R500.

The markers are expected to arrive at the school today.

There are fears that the protest will delay marking.

• The Middelburg Observer contacted the Mpumalanga Department of Education about the matter.

I have been working as a journalist/photographer since 2018 at the Middelburg Observer. Before joining Caxton I was a Journalism Student at the Tshwane University of Technology. I was also a broadcasting intern at the SABC in Pretoria. In my first year as a journalist I was awarded the Upcoming Journalist of the Year at the O H Frewin awards. My motto in life is ‘I am human before anything’ with that being said I am driven by human stories and I am a strong believer in justices and human rights.
