SOME schools have had to close as the eThekwini Municipality employees’ strike has negatively affected learning. Today (March 8), Ward 97 councillor André Beetge visited Sewula Primary School in eZimangweni outside Amanzimtoti, which has had to close because of having no electricity. Lower Illovo Primary also closed earlier this week because of sewage outfall which put the learners’ lives at risk. No city employees have been available to attend to these issues.
