Primary school vandalized

 
The police in Thohoyandou have opened a case of housebreaking and theft after an incident on Friday night when thieves broke into the Dambalwashe Primary School and stole school property.

According to the principal, Mr Thambulo Jan Madzivhandila, thieves stole a radio, toilet paper, staplers, a paper punch and spilled Jeyes Fluid all over the classroom. He said the chalkboard, cupboard, locks, flowers, register book and other books were damaged.

Madzivhandila said it is the third time the school has experienced similar problems. During a previous break-in, sports equipment such as soccer balls, netballs, softballs and volleyballs were stolen.

The School Governing Body chairperson, Mr Solomon Malima, said the school belongs to the community and they must respect their property. Vandalizing the school will hinder progress in the Shayandima area. “We need our children to enjoy education in good classroom conditions,” Malima ads.

Local Civic Organization Chairperson, Mr Frank Mathivhulula, said destroying school property is destroying your future.
