Destructive winds sweep through South Africa’s North West province over the weekend, damaging more than 20 schools. Reported impacts include roof and classroom damage at multiple sites.
The North West Department of Education says the damage affects schools across four districts, with roofs damaged in some locations and mobile classrooms destroyed in others. The South African outlet similarly reports widespread harm to school buildings, focusing on roof and classroom losses. While both accounts agree on the scale of destruction and the types of damage, they differ slightly in emphasis, with one highlighting damage broadly and the other detailing district coverage and the fate of mobile classroom units.
