The road to Kuru Kuru, which is situated along the Linden-Soesdyke Highway, is long and arduous. It has some sharp cut-offs and loads of sand on both sides. It is pitched, but in a terrible state, narrow and broken-up so that vehicles drive half off-half on the road. Drivers try hard not to get their tyres punctured by the sharp zig-zag edges of the road while at the same time trying to stay away from the sand so that their vehicles don’t get stuck.
The Kuru Kuru Primary School sign near the top of the road is deceptive. Ten minutes’ drive along the rugged terrain, there’s no school in sight. Asked, a passing resident looks up and says, “Just follow the road.” Another ten minutes or more and there’s the school right at the end of the road. The compound houses not only the Kuru Kuru Primary School but the Kuru Kuru Training College, the Nursery and Secondary schools as well. Seated under the shade
