Chiradzulu pupils on streets, protest arrest of fellow learner who fought with teacher
Hundreds of pupils from Chiradzulu Primary School pupils on Monday took to the streets to protest the arrest of a Standard 8 pupil who was arrested after picking up a fight with a teacher.
The pupil fought with his teacher on Friday during assembly time after he was asked to stop eating porridge during the assembly.
Following the fight, the boy was arrested on Saturday and on Monday morning as his case was to be heard at court his fellow pupils saw him and started shouting for his release.
Police Officers rushed to the scene to dispense the pupils who had by then started blocking the road and stoning them.
Parents, Teachers Association (PTA) Chairperson, Alexander Maloya condemned the behaviour portrayed by the pupils saying if they had problems they could have first sought audience with the Head teacher or the PTA.
He condemned the school management for failing to resolve the issue or consult the PTA before resolving to have the pupil arrested.
“We went to school for a meeting with school management and we started hearing some murmurings from the pupils after making some inquires we learnt of the arrest. We asked to meet the head teacher, but we were told that he was at the District Education Managers (DEM) office on the same issue,” the Chairperson said.
Maloya added that when the head teacher arrived at the school, he refused to talk to them saying they are still discussing with the DEM and the matter is in court.
According to information sourced at the court, the accused is Hanleck Elias, 18 and is answering a case of assault occasioning actual bodily harm contrary to section 254 of the penal code.
His case was adjourned to Friday November 23, 2018 where the court is expected to give the ruling.

BOMA LA DPP LALOWESA MAPHUNZIRO PANSI KOMA MKUMATI PITALA NDI CHAMPION ZOSEKESA ANA AKUMAPITA 8 KOLOKO KU SUKULU ATI UFULU DPP IS KILLING MALAWI FUTURE LET THIS GOVERNMENT GO AND EXPERIENCE THE OTHER ONE
In Malawi, there are more pupils like this boy. The future of Malawi scares me.
No wonder this region is the worst in terms of high illiteracy levels
Alomwe sopano how can a student pick a fight with his teacher is that despline zinazi kumaona how can an 18 years person be standard 8
The bastard was supposed to be in first year college
He does not care because he knows the system (educational system) allows him to do whatever he wants including going to university without really fighting for it. These are small things that grow into big things later. Kamuzu knew Malawians pretty good, that is why he put MYP personnel in all secondary schools. Tiwone Maliseche’s government kuti apangapo chiyani especially that it is Chiladzulo. Malawi walero, ena akugulitsa ma voter reg card, ena akupanga ma passport, ena akumenyana ndi apunzitsi. What do you expect when the head of the whole country and all his followers are openly reported in media houses and papers stealing huge money everyday. Ameneyo mumva kuti ndi cadet.
stupid student and all students. which pupil was allowed to b eating while on assembly????????????????? matama munytu.muin
Standard 8 koma 18 years old, eish no wonder analibe mantha fighting the teacher. Koma mpaka ku court mulanduwu. Eh ma rights achuluka! Kale zimathela kukumba zenje zimenezi.
At that age I was going into 3rd year (diploma course) at Polytechnic. Up to my 1st year in secondary school, I thought teachers were supernatural human beings. I did not even know that they were being paid for teaching us. Masiku ano ana asukulu amawauza aphunzitsi ndalama zimene amalandila, the exact figure.
Lack of discpline! Munhtu umadya porridge pa assembly? Chitsilu!
Lock all of them up already (if the jails can accommodate them). Brats!
He is too old to be in primary school. At 18, he should have been completing Form 4 atleast. No wonder he picked a fight with his teacher
What is this guy in primary school at that age? No wonder he is fighting …… maybe he should join a boxing club!
That “pupil” is a thug. He is a cadet. Arrest him! 18 years, he not supposed to be in primary school. If you leave him there in school, don’t cry when he impregnates 18 girls. He is a danger to the school
