A school in Chivi, Zimbabwe, Nyahonde Secondary School has been shut indefinitely over claims of witchcraft and activities of evil spirits.
The alleged witchcraft activities at the school had led to bizarre incidents, as students faint mysteriously, a local news platform, Zimeye news reports.
The report quoted a parent who wished not to be named as linking evil spirits and witchcraft to torments faced by students.
“Mysterious incidents have been taking place at the school. Some pupils passed out under mysterious circumstances while a form two girl went into a trance for a long time,” the parent said.
A local Councillor in Chivi community, Wilson Machingambi, disclosed that aggrieved parents withdrew their children from the school after the bizarre incidents.
