The Provincial Commissioner of the police in Mpumalanga, Lieutenant General Mondli Zuma condemns in the strongest terms the torching of schools which occurred recently at Marite. At least four schools have been incinerated within a month which is a cause for concern.
Police in Calcutta received a report around midnight that Kwanang Primary School in Madras was on fire and in turn they summoned the Bushbuckridge Fire Fighters. Whilst the team was still busy at that scene, they received another report that Rindzani High School was engulfed by flames.
A preliminary investigation at the scene revealed that a group of about 15 people were spotted entering the school and they left the staff room burning.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Lieutenant Colonel Dudu Shabangu at 072 937 3542 or call the Crime Stop number 08600 10111.
Torching of schools is becoming a big concern, Mpumalanga
