The Limpopo department of education said on Wednesday nearly 500 schools remained closed in the province due to severe damage to school infrastructure and roads.
Heavy rains and floods submerged roads and destroyed bridges across the Mopani, Vhembe and Sekhukhune districts.
On Tuesday education MEC Mavhungu Lerule-Ramakhanya visited flood-affected schools in Tzaneen to assess the damage caused to infrastructure.
