It is part of a multi-phase construction of schools in the Lwandle Education precinct,\u201d said Millicent Merton, the directorate for communication in the department, saying that Phase one of the school is completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ward 86 councillor Xolani Diniso stated that it is news to them. He said according to the agreement that they had with the department, the school was supposed to be opened at the beginning of the school\u2019s second term but that didn\u2019t happen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cInitially, the school was supposed to be opened at the beginning of this year. The department changed its tune, citing the delay on the site and vowed to open it in the second term. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNow, I\u2019m puzzled when they say they will open it next year.
