Briefing emergency meeting attendants on the incident yesterday morning, the school headmaster Lapologang Kolagano said punishment of one unruly student led to the fracas that made them abandon an examination. “Last week Wednesday a student shot another with a catapult before fleeing the school only to come back the following day. Some teachers tried to take him to the staff room and he agreed to go with the. But as they left the class, he picked up stones and threw them at the teachers and as they ran away, he fled the scene,” he said.

Kolagano said the student then returned to the school this Wednesday whereupon he was summoned to the staff room where they spoke to him before punishing him.  “After being punished, he broke all lights and mirrors of one teacher’s car. He then grab a space which he used to hit the grounds man. He then went on to hit the teacher who had punished with him the spade,” he said.
