Vuwani police spokesman Elaijah Malatji said four classrooms were burnt at the Munwai primary school while a staff room was gutted at Tshinavhe secondary school.
Malatji said no arrests has been made in connection with the latest arson attacks on government properties.
Violence erupted on Sunday evening when protesting residents took to the streets after the Limpopo high court dismissed their application to remain under the Makhado municipality.
They had approached the court seeking a review of a Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) decision to include their area under the new Malamulele municipality.
The MDB had announced in 2014 that one municipality in Limpopo’s Vhembe district would be demarcated to fall under the new Malamulele municipality.
Since the latest court ruling, residents have taking to venting their anger, torching schools in the area, barricading roads, stoning passing cars and battling riot police.
Several vehicles, a post office and a tribal office have also been set alight.
Limpopo premier Stan Mathabatha and members of his cabinet were expected to meet with traditional leaders.
Meanwhile, Karabo Moloi reports that Congress of South African Students in Limpopo has learned with utter dismay the burning of schools and damage to other public property by the Residents of Vuwani, in the Vhembe region, according media statement released today by the student body.
“It is a great injustice and violation to children’s rights to prevent them from receiving education.The residents which are burning down schools are a disgrace to the country and the world at large. We condemn tribalism with the highest contempt it deserves,” read the media release.
An estimated R400 million is what would cost to reconstruct all the schools burnt in Vuwani, continued the release.
