Strong winds blew off the roofs of three blocks at Ekango-Linene Combined School in Etayi Circuit, Omusati Region.

The damage occurred to the block that accommodates approximately 100 Grade 3 learners.

The block's walls were damaged, and classes were under water, causing further damage to classroom displays on the notice boards and posing a setback to teaching and learning for both teachers and learners at the school.

The damage to the block is estimated to be around N$7,000.

The school principal, Dasken Mushabati, says the storm also uprooted trees.
