“Students wanted to petition Escom over blackouts but school said no and that made students to begin singing within the campus.

“Some of the learners now have blocked the road and police are trying to ease the situation using teargas,” he told Malawi24.

According to the source, the college has only had electricity for a few hours in the past 72 hours.
