The government will have to spend R400-million to rebuild 13 schools damaged in Vuwani, Limpopo, as residents continued to protest against changes to municipal demarcation.Protests were reignited after the community lost a high court case challenging the Municipal Demarcation Board's decision to incorporate Vuwani and surrounding areas into the new Malamulele municipality. It is believed schools were targeted because they would be used as voting stations in the upcoming local government elections.Provincial police spokesman Colonel Malesela Ledwaba said no arrests had been made over the razing of the 13 schools.Yesterday the Department of Basic Education said it would cost R400-million to rebuild the damaged schools."The violent protests will worsen the situation of the learners who were already negatively affected by the protest in 2015. What makes it worse is that school records get destroyed. This jeopardises the future prospects of the children," Basic Education spokesman Elijah Mhlanga said.The situation in Vuwani also remained tense as roads were blocked, while public order police monitored the area.Pupils in school uniform and residents at Bungeni village blockaded the road leading to Mashau amid rumours that their schools would also be attacked.Tribal issues featured prominently in the unrest, with residents of the predominantly Venda town Vuwani not wanting to join the largely Shangaan Malamulele municipality.The conflict has spilt over to other areas as residents of the nearby Bungeni and Mashau villages are concerned schools there will be torched.According to Bungeni community leader Kulani Shibambu, Venda-speaking people were not allowed to enter their area because of threats to torch schools."They are threatening to burn our schools."So we are chasing them away. It is painful that kids are being prevented from attending school," Shibambu said.Another resident, Kateka Thwala, said he was concerned his four children were not attending school because of the protest."We're all lingering around here to protect our children," he said...
