An Asitavi Girls' High School
I was there when
the incident occurred.
After the crowning of Miss Asitavi, the crowd wanted to dance with students - but the school management refused, leading to rowdy drunks abusing staff and students.
In the ensuing commotion, several shots were fired from high powered rifles. The incident continued until five in the morning.
It has tarnished the good name of the community and several traumatised parents said they will transfer their children to other schools.
The fundraising event got off to a bad start when parents and citizens failed to assist students build pr staff the stalls at the bazaar. Even the community around the school did not participate in fundraising activities organised during the three-day event.
