African education program in action

Nelspruit (South Africa) - High-school pupils who accused a teacher of bewitching them ran riot on Tuesday after Mpumalanga education officials and the school governing body refused to dismiss her.

Police had to use teargas and fire rubber bullets to disperse rampaging pupils at Z B Kunene Senior Secondary School in KaNyamazane outside Nelspruit, and release teachers who had been held hostage in the staffroom.

"We received a call about a hostage situation at the school and when we arrived pupils started throwing stones at us," said Constable Floral Hlatshwayo of KaNyamazane police on Tuesday.

The pupils damaged two police vehicles and injured two police officers. Several pupils were also injured and had to be treated at the local clinic.
