ALL
it took for a local primary school to abandon classes on a Wednesday morning
was the appearance of a snake during assembly. A school assembly is a gathering
of all or part of a school in order to communicate information.
The
Wednesday assembly at a local Primary school was reportedly graced by a snake
whose presence literally dismissed everyone, from dear teacher to the most
junior pupil it was “each man for himself” when they fled the scene.
As
panic would have it, numerous pupils were injured in the fracas.
A
reliable source from the area said: “It’s not really clear what caused the
children to run away from school because there are two different versions — but
both involve a snake,” said the source.
He
went on: “When they were at the assembly point, it’s said one pupil fell down
and started moving like a snake resulting in teachers and pupils scurrying for cover.
Some pupils claim it was a real snake and they ran away after seeing it. Others
just screamed and followed the rest,” he said.
That
was enough to call it a day.
“Lessons
were cancelled at the school because others had sustained injuries and many were
left in shock,” added the source.

Nyathi, a parent is one of the many who went to collect their children at the
school.
Provisional
Education Director Dan Moyo said he had not yet received the report from the
school headmaster.
