The conditions at Kutumela Molefe Primary School and Modiri Secondary have sparked protests by parents and pupils.
Although schooling was back under way at Modiri, most pupils were hanging about and idling outside classrooms during school hours.At Kutumela Molefe, a big group of angry parents had ordered everyone out and blocked the gate, preventing anyone from gaining entry onto the school premises.
There is litter across the school premises and most toilets were blocked and unusable, some spilling raw sewage. Another parent, Mahlodi Papola, 38, said:"All I want is a safer environment for my kids when they are at school at all times and what I saw at school is horrible." "It's just abandoned, it's like a dumping site where all rubbish is being dumped and the condition of the school is unbearable. No one will learn in those conditions," Carter saidPupils said their old desks break on a regular basis.
