Teaching and learning were not disrupted at Laphumikwezi Primary School outside Mthatha in the Eastern Cape.
Yesterday, AbaThembu King Zwelibanzi Dalindyebo instructed the school to reopen after it was closed last Wednesday due to fears of intimidation and extortion.
The school's principal, Loyiso Jekubeni, was allegedly assaulted after refusing to release money generated from a cellphone network tower in the grounds, which a group claiming to be custodians of the land where the school is situated, was demanding.
According to the Eastern Cape Basic Education Department, there were actually four schools that were targeted by the alleged extortionists in Mthatha, including a school for people living with disabilities.
