The University of Livingstonia’s Ekwendeni Campus gushed in fire yesterday where many facilities have been damaged.
According to Ekwendeni College of Health Sciences Registrar, Reverend Dinnie Mwakasungula confirmed that the fire started around 10 am due to what is suspected to be an electrical fault.
“The fire started due to an electrical fault, it was a spark which started at the main switch in the matron’s office and it spread to the computer lab which is next to the matron’s office.
“Assessment of goods damaged is still underway but so far, we have managed to rescue about 30 mattresses and a few computers. In total, we had 40 computers in the computer lab but it seems almost 30 have been damaged by the fire,” said Mwakasungula.
