Schools reopens in South Africa

South African schools are reopening after government eased lockdown measures.

Education minister, Angie Motshekga disclosed that 95 percent of the learning institutions have met requirements for safe reopening.

Motshekga said the government has disinfected school premises and distributed masks and personal protective gear.

She said they are working on schools that are not ready for reopening, with the biggest challenge being the sanitation of premises.

Motshekga said no school that is not compliant will be allowed to re-open but that no learner shall be left behind.
