50 learners share one shower … and it isn’t working, say the students.
Learners at the Rivoni School for the Blind in Limpopo blocked the R578 and D3831 roads leading to Elim on Monday.
Arnold Baburi, a Grade 12 learner, said: “We have been complaining and protesting about this school since 2016 and nothing has changed. Our toilets are broken and showers are not working … We cannot continue learning in such [mobile classroom] structures … We are not going back unless the Limpopo department of education makes progress on our demands. This is our right.”
The learners say 50 of them are expected to share one shower, which is currently not working. They now use buckets to wash. Beds for ten learners are crammed into one room at the boys’ hostel at Rivoni School. Photo: Bernard Chiguvare/GroundUp
