Pakati Ptimary school: Teachers are all doing well, geared up and ready to go. They are always preaching the gospel of the pandemic. As for the parents a few are not taking the coronavirus guidelines seriously, but at school we have put in place adequate measures to ensure that everyone who enters the school premises is masked up and sanitized.
Pakati Secondary school: Our students are back in school now, with all relevant protocols put in place to ensure the safety of staff and students during this Covid 19 situation. We will update on the situation very soon, with pictures and information as soon as we can. We are hampered by the lack of electrical power as reported recently here: https://friendsofpakati.com/2021/03/22/urgent-help-needed-power-supply-problems/
Mapanga Primary school: (Early March) Wearing of face masks, tempreture checks and washing of hands in all public areas remains mandatory. Unfortunately we won’t have electricity as our transformer was hit by lightning on the 6 th of January 2021. They don’t have our 33 kv in stock. We hope they will replace it as time progresses.
