Durban parents are calling for the education department to close schools due to the rise in Covid-19 infections in both learners and teachers.
De Bruin said the education department was not being transparent. He said apart from the Wentworth region there have been a number of schools that closed due to Covid-19 cases.
De Bruin said even the personal protective equipment that schools received were not enough. He said classes were cleaned thoroughly daily and toilets cleaned up to 10 times a day. He said it was only after eight months that his school received PPE that is: four 25-litre sanitisers, two 25-litre surface cleaners and 200 masks.
KwaZulu-Natal MEC for Education Kwazi Mshengu said his department was observing the upsurge of Covid-19 cases in schools affecting both pupils and teachers.
