In a recent interview, Nata Police Station commander, Superintendent Mokopi Nawa told The Monitor that about 100 boys lost their belongings in the fire. “The affected boys are still traumatised and currently receiving therapy from social workers and the school guidance and counselling teachers.
We are yet to speak to them so that we can be able to quantify their loss,” he said.
According to the Nata station commander, the fire affected only the second floor of the boys’ hotel flats and did not spread to the ground and first floors. Nawa indicated that they have not established the cause of the fire and thus will lead to the next reason of action. The school’s boys hostels were engulfed in an inferno last Thursday night, the second fire incident to affect the boys lodging at the school.
Nawa said in the last interview that there were no casualties. Unconfirmed reports were that the school waited for two hours for the Fire Department to arrive at the scene from Sowa Town.
