Wesbank High School has
\nbeen flooded after last night\u2019s (Wednesday\u2019s) downpour.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Edith Van
\nWyk, chairperson of the Wesbank W<\/span>alking B<\/span>us, the school\u2019s foyer has
\nbeen flooded preventing learners from entering the premises.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe learners are still
\nstanding outside,\u201d she told TygerBurger <\/em><\/span>at 09:20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The local W<\/span>alking B<\/span>us members assisted with
\nsweeping out<\/span> <\/span>the water, as the foyer is
\nthe only entrance to the school building.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Van Wyk says<\/span> the foyer floods
\nevery time it rains and that she feels the department of education should step
\nin to sort the issue out<\/span> as soon as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is definitely a result of poor planning when the school was
\nconstructed,\u201d she says.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
