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.
