Hundreds of Ennerdale Secondary School pupils stay at home, fearing another Hoërskool Driehoek tragedy | ntwaagae
Since a concrete slab collapsed onto a corridor at the Vanderbijlpark school in February, killing the four children, parents of pupils at the Ennerdale Secondary School have decided to keep their children at home.Concerned parents and employees claim that a walkway connecting two blocks is unstable as it vibrates when walked on.
Currently, only 114 Grade 12 pupils are attending school. They have been moved to another block of classrooms that have been deemed safe. Botha said officials from Motshekga's office, accompanied by a structural engineer, arrived at the school on March 1 and inspected the building.
