For the sec­ond day, class­es at Mara­bel­la North Sec­ondary School have been dis­missed ear­ly due to a wa­ter is­sue. 

Some par­ents ar­rived at the school lo­cat­ed short­ly be­fore mid­day to pick up their chil­dren af­ter be­ing con­tact­ed by school of­fi­cials. Par­ents who spoke with Guardian Me­dia were up­set over the sit­u­a­tion. 

David Pyankarop said he had to leave work to pick up his son. “This is ridicu­lous,” lament­ed the fa­ther. He called on school of­fi­cials and the min­istry to have the sit­u­a­tion rec­ti­fied to en­sure that the chil­dren have reg­u­lar school next week. On Thurs­day class­es were dis­missed around 10.30 am. 

School of­fi­cials re­fused to speak with me­dia.
