You will receive a link to create a new password via email.Staff at Kutsakeni Primary say these boreholes at the school dried up in 2021. Now the school has asked learners to contribute R150 annually to fill their water tanks.

Beside their water troubles, Kutsakeni Primary was badly damaged during a storm that hit Giyani in October. It damaged the school’s already dilapidated and old buildings. The walls of most classrooms have cracks, and floors have holes in them. As a result, meals are now cooked in an informal zinc structure on the premises.Members of the SGB say they have written to the Limpopo Department of Education about these issues numerous times for more than ten years.

They urged the department to address the situation and for officials to visit the school as soon as possible, citing the safety of learners and staff as a concern.
