Only matrics and grade 11's writing exams should do to school on Friday, says KZN education department

Head of department Enock Nzama said on Thursday night was because of forecasts of"bad weather conditions" and was made"in the interest of safety".

A memorandum from the department said that matrics writing their final exams should attend school, as should grade 11 pupils. "All other grades are suspended for the day. Schools are requests to make the necessary adjustments to their internal timetables for the rest of the other grades," the memo reads.

On Thursday, the department also suspended classes due to inclement weather which has lashed KZN since the weekend. At least 16 people have been confirmed dead.
