It does not seem as if the WCED has done that in its construction of schools.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The school reopened on Friday 31 January, following a meeting between district officials and the community on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe process for determining school needs and new infrastructure projects was explained,\u201d said Bronagh Hammond, spokesperson for the WCED.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She further explained that the department had never committed to replacing Solomon Qatyana Primary with a new school in 2020-\u201921. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have, however, committed to expanding access to schools within the area, which included the new Lwandle school precinct development, which opened in January this year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further to the WCED\u2019s comments, <em>DistrictMail &amp; Helderberg Gazette<\/em>\u2019s enquiries regarding the department\u2019s assistance in making up for the lost school days and their awareness of the alleged issues surrounding temporary mobile classrooms had not been answered at the time of going to press.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"Middle\"
