Learners at Kapanda Community Day Secondary School in Nkhata Bay have threatened to storm Electricity Supply Corporation of Malawi (ESCOM) offices if the utility body continues to delay to restore electricity at the school.

The school’s head boy and head girl, Rabecca Longwe and Mayamiko Manda say since they have lost trust in their school management that it is really engaging with ESCOM on the matter, they have planned to storm the company on their own to address their concern.

Their head teacher, Daniel Kabiya has revealed that since 18th December, 2021 when the transformer which was supplying electricity to the school got damaged by lightning, it has been a very big challenge for learners to study at night and learn computer lessons but in several attempts to laise with ESCOM, their effort has proved futile.

But ESCOM’s Spokesperson, Innocent Chitosi says Engineers are working tirelessly to rectify the problem to ensure that learners at the school are not disturbed and has since pleaded with them to exercise their patience.
