The students vandalized the school after reports that one student-teacher (from Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Natural Resources (Luanar)) had an affair with a girl.

“Management and the school committee agreed that the students who were involved should share cost of damage done,” said school head-teacher, Boniface Malunga.

Malunga, however, said this would be after investigations, into what happened and who was involved, are concluded.

“The situation has normalized. A few students turned up for classes,” he said.

Among the things that were destroyed on school campus are an administration block, a teacher’s house and the school hall where windows were broken.

Three students were also arrested in connection with the incident and they were charged with causing malicious damage.
