More than 30 pupils from a King William’s Town high school could not write their exams yesterday because of a flooded bridge.
Two Grade 12 pupils braved the shoulder-high water and managed to make it in time for their isiXhosa Paper 3 exam at Toise Senior Secondary School in Qaga village.
The two took off their school uniforms, put them in packets and, using sticks to balance in the water, managed to successfully cross the bridge.
