FLOODS HAVE FORCED SCHOOLS ACROSS PARTS OF LIMPOPO TO SHUT DOWN.(PHOTO).



Floods have forced schools across parts of Limpopo to shut down.


The Department of Education has suspended classes for two days as roads disappear under water and some school buildings show damage.

Learners and teachers in the worst-affected districts will stay home while authorities assess the danger.


Persistent heavy rain has hit the Vhembe and Mopani districts the hardest. Many roads are now impassable, cutting off access to several schools. Incidents and structural concerns have also been reported in Capricorn South and Waterberg, raising the risk of further disruptions if rainfall continues.


The department has suspended schooling on Monday, 16 March, and Tuesday, 17 March in all affected areas. Officials say flooded roads and damaged infrastructure make it unsafe for learners and staff to travel or attend classes.


Reports from schools include leaking roofs and water damage inside buildings. Some schools have also been targeted by burglars who stole nutrition programme food and electronic equipment during the disruption.


District offices have already informed schools and circuit managers, who are expected to notify parents and governing bodies.


Parents are urged not to allow learners to cross flooded bridges or swollen rivers to reach school. Tests missed during the disruption will be rescheduled once conditions stabilize.


The department, together with district municipalities and disaster management teams, continues to monitor rainfall, infrastructure damage, and road access. Another update will follow as conditions develop.
