Some 26 schools in the Northern Cape have been either broken into or vandalised during the national Covid-19 lockdown.
Northern Cape education MEC Mac Jack has expressed concern over the ''alarming high rate of theft and vandalism incidents''.
''These incidents happened amid the national lockdown period wherein communities have been instructed to stay at home to avoid the spread of the Covid-19.'' The department's spokesperson, Geoffrey van der Merwe, said that the administration office and the principal's office at a farm school near Carnarvon were vandalised and they suspected that it was a school cleaner.
