Malawi Police in Nkhotakota district have arrested four Bishop Mtekateka Private Secondary students and one from Linga Community Day Secondary School in the district for behaving violently following the suspension of a Bishop Mtekateka head boy over the use of an ipad.
According to Nkhotakota Police public relations officer, Williams Kaponda, the students went on a rampage after the school’s management suspended the head boy as he was trying to address his fellow students regarding an ipad which was destroyed by one of the teachers at the school.
“The school’s decision to suspend the head boy triggered anger among students and in solidarity with the head boy they went on rampage to seek management’s explanation on the suspension and several other suspensions given to students without justification,” said Kaponda.
When contacted, Parents Teachers Association (PTA) Chairperson, Luka Matchiya, said as PTA they are still investigating the matter but was quick to say that no property has been damaged.
Meanwhile the school has been closed until Monday next week when students are expected to go with their parents.
According to the school’s rules and regulations, a student is not supposed to be found with a cellphone at the school. Police identified the arrested students as the head boy, Morton Mzumara (19) of Chinguluwe village in the area of traditional authority Kalonga in Salima, Brave Mbewe (20) of Kamange village in the area of traditional authority Malengachanzi and Mwai Kalozi (19) of Matiki village in the area of senior chief Kanyenda in Nkhotakota. The other two are minors and are aged 18 and 15.
This comes barely a few weeks after students from another private secondary school in the district also went on rampage and damaged the school’s property.

students must use ipads Malawi wake up hey
Apolice onse ndi zitsilu, foolish
I’m jus concerned with the ages of the students,…nowadays still in secondary at 19, 20?….no wonder!
It seems at this 21st century Malawi is still having dull minded people…..what’s wrong with an iPad? Malawi is indeed backward nation
phones are not allowed in most schools; but destroying them is again right violations luk they have suspend him but again destroying the phone very bad
I guess thats a good move…scoope distinctions at the end ” MANEB EXAMS” and come ku poly thus the University you guys deserve and we call it solidality here….

The school’s got a good reputation though!

These xul regulations need reforms coz we are in INFORMATION AGE, wake up Malawi, munthu kufika ku university even email alibe, Ms office sakumudziwa including aphunzitsi, very shame Malawi. Our economy is poor because of ‘lacking Information Systems. How school ngati Lay can achieve competitive advantage theory when the running away from Information Systems

If laws allow learners to bring ipad, cellphones etc during classes, they will not concentrate on what teacher may say. So this is not good to carry ipad during class time. The rules were there, now n so on. Everyone passed through these rules esp. those who went to school.
Eya bola pamenepo

You see these are not good students or even good citizens to raise in a country in Malawi you are known to be a peaceful nation .We need good nationals if the school says no cellphones then children must follow automatically no excuse ,not to be so violent over the issue the decision which the school authority has taken must be followed period
