Mpumalanga education department is meeting with district managers to assess the damage caused by downpours, which resulted in some schools not opening on Wednesday.
Although the department said most of the schools in the province managed to open, others in the northern parts couldnt due to flooding of bridges which are often used by pupils to cross to get to school. Premier Mandla Ndlovu had on Tuesday warned parents not to risk the lives of the children when school reopens.
Some parents heeded the call as the rain persisted overnight before the resumption of schooling.
