Impassable road fixed after pupils take action
When the 25 pupils, two parents who work at the Curry’s Post Primary School and a taxi driver returned from school on Tuesday, they filled the large potholes on the D293 district road with stones that they had collected in the area. Curry’s Post is 25km from Howick, a town located in the uMngeni District Municipality.
The road runs over a dam, but there is a burst water pipe inside the dam wall which further weakens the road. Hedley, who is in charge of the library and reading groups, said: “They are lovely children. When they are asked to do something, they do it. I am so sorry that they don’t have better opportunities.”
