The Rivoni School for the Blind in Elim, Limpopo, is fast becoming an institution which is in in high demand for its matric achievements.

On the first day of the new school year on Wednesday, principal Connie Mabaso said the boarding institution even attracted pupils from other provinces.

A week ago, it again captured attention when Tiyani Mbedzhani was one of the top 30 matriculants nationally. Last year, parents staged a protest to demand the improvement of infrastructure and conditions at the school. They were criticised for taking pupils out of classes. The classrooms are"mobile classes" that have been standing there for years. The pupils' hostels are an eyesore.

"You are producing students who receive national awards. You have competed among the best, not only those that are disabled but those who are abled, and you excelled. School governing body chairperson Elias Mathiane told the premier that, through the years, government officials have sent them from pillar to post when they sought assistance.
