A dramatic hostage drama unfolded at a Mpumalanga primary school on Monday after parents locked a circuit manager in the staff room demanding fencing and a guard house for their school.
According to the school governing body SGB there was supposed to be a meeting between the SGB, circuit manager and director for infrastructure from the department of education at Duma Primary School in Pienaar, Mpumalanga. However, it all turned bad when only the circuit manager showed up.
Teaching and learning came to a standstill as some pupils left and some were seen playing outside while the SGB locked the doors with the manager inside.
