Durban - WHILE the Department of Education has spent millions of rand on infrastructure, a steady water supply remains the key challenge facing many schools in KwaZulu-Natal.

The visit showed that schools were struggling to secure a steady supply of water, with municipalities not delivering on time or when required. Chairperson of the portfolio committee Jomo Sibiya, who visited schools in uMkhanyakude District, said they found that 95% of the required items for schools to function were in place.

“We do have minor concerns in that the mobile toilets provided are not in a good condition, but the department assured us new toilets will be brought in, in the next two weeks.
