The Pixley Ka Seme, John Toalo Gaetsewe and ZF Mgcawu District offices were also closed with immediate effect due to positive Covid-19 cases reported.

These offices and schools will remain closed until the premises have been disinfected and it is safe for educators and learners to return.

We are monitoring the situation very closely and ensuring that all systems are in place at schools. Although 48 schools have been affected thus far, we must indicate that it is not a breakout of COVID-19 infections, but rather individual cases that were reported.

As a Department, we taking all precautionary measures to curb the spread of COVID-19 in schools, thus the closure of these schools in relation to our Standard Operating Procedures.
