Teaching and learning at Keetmanshoop-based Don Bosco Primary School were disrupted today as learners had to mop up flooded classrooms following heavy rains on Tuesday. 

Benedictus |Narib, the principal of Don Bosco Primary School, says the rainwater flooded two blocks of classrooms. 

The principal described Tuesday's natural calamity as a river flowing into classrooms from a nearby hilltop. 

Apart from an electricity blackout, says |Narib, no major damages were caused by the rainstorm. 

Heavy rains accompanied by a strong wind blew away tents used as classrooms at the Siguruguru Primary School outside Rundu.

Acting Head of Department Marcellus Haivera says it is now becoming a daily occurrence since schools reopened in January.

The Siguruguru Primary School has 14 tents used as classrooms, accommodating about 800 learners from grades zero to seven.

Haivera says only two tents remained standing following the rainstorm on Wednesday night.
