They are just rumours, Education Minister responds to schools opening date.
The Minister of Primary and Secondary Education Professor Paul Mavima has dismissed as fake the reports circulating on social media suggesting that schools were no longer going to be opened on Tuesday 10 September 2019 as initially planned.

SCHOOLS OPENING DAY
