Mpumalanga Education Dept condemns torching of schools

Reading Time: < 1 minute

The Mpumalanga Department of Education has condemned the burning of two schools at Siyabuswa in Mpumalanga in the past week.

Department spokesperson Jasper Zwane says those who torched the two schools were apparently a group of people angered by the outcome of the midweek by-elections in the area.

He says, “We will be assessing the damage on Monday. Our technical team will be at the schools, they will advise us on what needs to be done.”

“What worries us the most is that as we speak learners are writing their mid-year examination and this will only delay that process.”

“We really condemn this and we are very worried as the Department of Education in Mpumalanga,” says Zwane.
