Classes have been suspended at the Reuben Birin Special School for the Hearing Impaired.

The school in Missionvale, Port Elizabeth, has 140 learners, 60 of them living in its hostels. Classes will restart once the debris is cleared.

Spokesperson for the department of education Loyiso Pulumani said the first burglary occurred on Monday, March 25 at the administration block. Laptops and desktop computers were stolen. The second burglary was on Wednesday when all printers at the school were stolen. On Thursday the administration block was set alight and burnt to the ground. Then on Saturday night, twelve classrooms at the back of the school were torched.

The admin block also housed non-profit organisation Seizbyt, who in partnership with Reuben Birin, were providing computer training. Pulumani said electricity in the area was off for the entire week due to road construction, so the area was dark.
