Second time unlucky for school burgled twice in recent times.

 

Just as Tshivhidzo Masiagwala Secondary School was recovering from a theft that left many computers and food meant for pupils stolen, yet another burglary has been reported at the school.

A month ago, this paper reported a burglary at the school, and this week the school suffered another great loss when thieves cut a fence before breaking the padlocks to gain entry to the computer room where the books meant for next year are stored.

The incident is believed to have taken place over last weekend and it was only discovered when pupils and teachers reported at the school for Saturday classes. Many believe the thefts are orchestrated by people who have inside information about the school.

SGB chairperson Mr Shumani Halata said he received information about the break-in from the school caretaker. "I notified the deputy principal and we met at the school. The padlocks were broken and inside the computer room everything was just upside down."

He added that several boxes of books meant for pupils in the new year were missing “and this is of much concern to us as this is disorganizing learning and teaching.”

He made an appeal to the police to revisit all the old cases and arrest the perpetrators. “This has to stop," said Halata. He further indicated that so many as 11 break inns have happened at the school during his term as chairperson of the SGB.
