The Director of Education in Kavango East, Christine Shilima, has suspended classes at Ndama Junior Primary School until further notice. 

This comes after nbc News yesterday reported on how learners have been relieving themselves openly in the schoolyard for the past three weeks. 

Secretary General of the Namibia National Teachers Union, Loide Shaanika, accompanied by her team and officials from the Ministry of Health, are at the school familiarising themselves with the situation on the ground.

Apart from the school not having water, the toilets are also not functional because the septic tank is full.
