O Departamento de Educação de Western Cape confirmou que todas as escolas no Distrito de Cape Winelands reabriram após os fechamentos causados por condições climáticas severas na semana passada.

O Departamento de Educação de Western Cape anunciou na sexta-feira que as escolas no Distrito de Cape Winelands já estão abertas. Diversas escolas estavam fechadas desde a semana passada, após tempestades danificarem estradas e deixarem algumas áreas inacessíveis. O Ministro provincial da Educação, David Maynier, afirmou que seis escolas no Distrito Educacional de Eden e Central Karoo permanecem fechadas devido ao bloqueio de estradas de acesso. Funcionários do distrito e equipes escolares estão trabalhando para restaurar as operações normais. Planos de reposição de aulas estão sendo preparados para evitar que qualquer aluno fique prejudicado devido às interrupções causadas pelo clima.
