"There is nothing left, just frames of what used to be desks"
Nomsa Maseko visits one of the 17 schools in South Africa's Limpopo province that were burned to the ground. Protesters there set fire to the the buildings in a violent dispute over district boundaries, police say. Government officials appealed for an end to the violence, saying it affected the education of hundreds of children. Protesters say moves to include their neighbourhoods into a new municipality would delay efforts to get them better housing and water.
