KZN education department delays opening of 11 schools after threats

Education MEC Kwazi Mshengu visited the area to assess school readiness before the start of the province's new academic year on Wednesday.

“The modus operandi is that at all 11 schools, the gates were locked with heavy chains and padlocks, and whenever principals and educators tried to break the chains they would receive anonymous phone calls threatening their lives. This has been reported to the police,” the department said. “Upon considering the safety of all, we have decided to delay by only one day the reopening of 11 affected schools that fall under uMkhambathini circuit, uMgungundlovu district.”
