Students stranded as messenger of court confiscates furniture

AT LEAST 800 pupils at Samaringa Primary School in Mutasa Central constituency were on Friday left stranded after the Messenger of Court pounced and collected all the furniture, computers and stationery in execution of a court order granted in favour of an “underpaid’’ former employee.

The incident happened as pupils were due to sit for their mid-year examinations starting today.

Getrude Saruwaka, the headmistress at the Anglican Church-run school confirmed the development, but referred further questions to Manicaland provincial education director, Edward Shumba.
