When I got there, I found five learners and the doctors were busy with them. Mine couldn’t even talk at that moment. mine was able to talk and she told me that during lunch she bought a sherbet from hawkers at school. And then I left and went to the school as the doctors were still busy with her. When I got to the school, I found that the principal and the SGB were busy discussing the matter.
