Temporary classrooms for Midlands school after vandalism attack
The KZN Education Department says it's looking into providing mobile classrooms to Eminyezaneni Secondary School near Mooi River in the Midlands after buildings were badly vandalised during the December holidays.
The school was allegedly looted and defaced with access to water and electricity now also limited.
Education's Kwazi Mthethwa says they're investigating the extent of the damage.
"The HOD can decide whether it's possible to provide mobile classrooms because we don't want to wait any longer. In cases of this nature, we send our people who go to the ground and assess the extent to which the school has been damaged. They then come to report to us, and we take it from there," he says.
Mthethwa says people found guilty of vandalising governmental property must face the full might of the law.

"Let the police deal with any criminal element that may be found in our system. We are not going to allow any individual to vandalise our property," he says.
