16 January 2025- Onalerona Primary School were among buildings that were damaged by the severe wind on Tuesday. The roof of a building at the school was blown off.
However, the North West Department of Education spokesperson, Mphata Molokwane said the strong winds and heavy rains damaged several homes and buildings in Kgomotso village, near Taung.
“The district schools have experienced disruptions due to storms from December 2024, to the present, resulting in the damage of two institutions, specifically Majeng Secondary School and Onalerona Primary School, both located in Kgomotso village.
“Foundation phase learners from Onalerona Primary School will be accommodated at the nearby Thutoneo Primary School, which possesses sufficient classroom facilities,” he said.
Molokwane further said Majeng Secondary School also has an abundance of unused classrooms, therefore, no critical crisis has arisen. He added that repairs are scheduled to commence in 2025.
