Lempu Students' Mystery Disease Turns Hope Into Despair

Hope has now become a distant echo for the residents, village leadership together with education officials, who have fallen deeper into despair following an admission by Scottish Livingstone Hospital that they have found no cure for the mysterious disease.

In March, more than 100 Lempu JSS students were hit by this rare condition that caused them to exhibit wobbliness while walking. Then, they were taken to the Molepolole-based hospital where they were booked for about a week and then later discharged.
