A memorandum issued on Thursday morning and dated November 14 said education head of department Enock Vusumuzi Nzama had issued a directive to schools to send home pupils who are not writing exams.
“We are asking all schools to release their pupils because of the weather warning. If the weather doesn't prove to be bad, that's fine, but it is better to act proactively,” he said. Saws said the heavy rain was expected to lead to flooding of roads and settlements, both formal and informal, which may result in some communities being displaced and rendered inaccessible.
“With the high amount of rain that has already been experienced, the risk of flooding is very high in places.”
