    We’ve covered at length the drought that is currently engulfing the country, although it often takes putting a human face to the problem for the reality to hit home.

    Take for example the teachers marking at James Nxumalo Agricultural High School, some of whom have been forced to use the bushes as a toilet as a result of water shortages and alleged poor working condition.

    The crisis has reached such epic proportions that the 460 teachers marking papers in Ulundi, KZN refused to continue their task. They have complained to the KwaZulu-Natal Education Department, with some of those complaints below from News24:

    KZN teacher Zakhele Zulu said they have been in dire need of water for two days. He said the conditions were so bad that woman teachers were using the bush nearby as a toilet.

    “We can’t work as professionals under these conditions. We decided to tell our unions to come and witness these conditions. It’s disgusting here. The female educators can’t even use the toilets because of the stench. We are forced to use the bush as our toilet, it was just awful,” Zulu told [said]…

    The marking centre now looks set to move to Durban, where it is believed the teachers can be better looked after.
