Luhonono: Teaching has resumed at three schools in the flood-prone Kabbe South Constituency in the Zambezi Region following a successful relocation exercise over the Easter weekend. Zambezi Region Education Director, Alex Sikume, confirmed that the schools, which were forced to close due to rising water levels, are now operational at their new temporary sites.According to Namibia Press Agency, Sikume described the relocation as an extensive and complex operation which involved transporting school furniture and the personal belongings of staff and learners from the floodplains using a combination of boats, trucks, and buses. By Tuesday morning, students had resumed their studies in makeshift tents.Nankuntwe Combined School, Mpukano Primary School, and Muzii Combined School were relocated after severe flooding made their original premises inaccessible. The logistics involved ferrying items to Luhonono via the Kapelwa Kabajani Ferry and 'interceptor' boats. From there, trucks transported equipment to the new sites, while staff and learners were moved by bus.Under the new arrangement, Muzii Combined School is now based at Lusese, while Mpukano Primary is located at Kabbe, approximately 30 kilometres from the Luhonono docking site. Nankuntwe Combined School has been stationed adjacent to Schuckmannsburg Combined School, just a few metres from the docking area in Luhonono.'Classes have resumed for all schools, although Mpukano spent the morning finalizing logistics since it is a completely new site. We are addressing these gaps daily to ensure that teaching and learning continue without further disruption,' Sikume stated.The director added that these schools will remain a priority for food rations provided by the Regional Disaster Risk Management Committee. The relocation has affected nearly 600 learners and staff members in total.To compensate for the instructional time lost during the floods, Sikume announced that the three schools will not break for the scheduled holiday on 30 April 2026 and will instead continue teaching throughout May to ensure the curriculum remains on track.The relocation follows a recent visit by President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, who travelled to Luhonono to assess the flood situation. The president expressed satisfaction with the region's proactive response plan in mitigating the impact of the floods on the local community and education system.
