Some pupils said they were excited, but unsure of what to expect as soon as their parents left them at the gate.
“The morning rush and trying to screen everyone at the same time, it needed some co-operation from everyone. I did not get reports on any huge problems, and those who were returning for the first time did not know what to expect. It looks like everything will fall into place. This is the new normal. We all need to adjust,” said Gani.
SA Democratic Teachers Union provincial secretary Nomarashiya Caluza claimed there were schools in Zululand and the uMlazi district that had not received personal protection equipment. She said the instruction by the department to reopen all schools knowing that not all schools were ready, was misleading.
