Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Eight classrooms and a storeroom have been damaged after a fire broke out at Drommedaris Primary School in Boksburg, Gauteng.<\/p>\n

Gauteng Department of Education spokesperson Steve Mabona said eight Grade R to Grade 3 classrooms and the school’s storeroom were damaged.<\/p>\n

“One of the school’s general assistants reported the incident, and the local fire brigade managed to douse the fire,” Mabona said.<\/p>\n

Photographs supplied to News24 show the debris and the aftermath of the fire.<\/p>\n

“The GDE (Gauteng Department of Education) is working tirelessly to ensure that learning at the school, as well as the health and safety of learners are not compromised due to this incident,” Mabona added.<\/p>\n

He also stated that Grade R to Grade 3 pupils were not at school on Monday due to the fire.<\/p>\n

“GDE officials and the school governing body (SGB) are at the school to come up with a solution on how to accommodate them,” Mabona said.<\/p>\n

No one was injured in the fire.<\/p>\n

The cause of the fire had not yet been established, and the department said the police were investigating.<\/p>\n
