Zomba Catholic Secondary School Alumni condemns violent protest by students

The Alumni of Zomba Catholic Secondary School (AZCSS) have condemned the recent violence protest staged by students.

The students on Monday revolted and damaged school property in protest of the school management’s decision to dismiss a form four student who was allegedly found drunk on campus.

The protest led to the indefinite closure of the school.

In a statement signed by AZCSS board secretary Chancy Gondwe, the alumni have expressed disappointment with the conduct of the students describing it as shameful.

They have since urged the school administration to take necessary disciplinary action against the perpetrators of what they call unwarranted protests in line with the school rules and regulations.

“We acknowledge that students have the right to express their grievances on any matter of concern to them. The Alumni of the school are disturbed by the reports of unwarranted violence targeted at the school property, fellow students, academic and non-academic staff and the management of the school,” the statement reads in part.

Meanwhile no one has been arrested in connection to the fracas.
