5.2.10 Rhwantsana Junior Secondary School was hit by a storm in 2009. At this school learners were literally studying under trees. It was difficult to teach in the sun or when it was raining. The Provincial Department was aware of the challenges at Rhwantsana. Following an inspection of the school, the National Department of Basic Education promised to build a library. The school was of the opinion that it would be preferable to first build classrooms. The challenges at Rhwantsana had been reported in the press, television and radio news without any help forthcoming.
