PUPILS of Itirele-Zenzele Secondary School - who for years attended classes in makeshift classrooms on a mushroom farm - yesterday moved into an upgraded R70-million school in Diepsloot.
Gauteng education MEC Barbara Creecy and Premier Nomvula Mokonyane visited the school yesterday.
"I am grateful that we finally have our own school," principal Mogale Masenya said.
Grade 11 pupil Nontokozo Msibi, 18, said: "At the old school, the mobile classes did not have windows and when it rained, the class would be flooded. There were no lights and it would get dark when it rained."
The new school has a computer room, library, new toilets and laboratories for the science subjects.
Addressing the pupils, Mokonyane said: "We will use the law to relocate taverns that sell liquor around the school."
Mokonyane and Creecy donated 150 cosmetic and sanitary packs to some pupils while others were given uniforms.
