Thyolo Secondary School students set ablaze hostels, houses

Thyolo Secondary School students have torched a general building which comprises administration offices and the bursar’s office at the school on Wednesday night.

Thyolo police Sub-Inspector has confirmed of the development in an interview with the press.

According to Tione, the school sent on suspension some students due to indiscipline, with reasons ranging from use of cellphone, teasing and bullying.

“Upon return the students found out their places have been replaced by students from other districts. This angered the students who ganged up and torched the said building,” said Tione.

The students have also destroyed hostels, a matron’s house, a dining room and part of the headmaster’s house.

Meanwhile four students have been arrested in connection to the issue.
