DURBAN | The search sparked an angry response from some pupils, who vandalised school property and torched classrooms.😲 KZN cc ECR_Newswatch

Officers recently confiscated weapons and drugs from Ndengetho High School in KwaNdengezi.

The department's Kwazi Mthethwa says the search sparked an angry response from some pupils, who vandalised school property and torched classrooms. "When the police left, I think the learners decided to take it out on the school building. It's surprising and shocking.""They started burning some classes but the fire was managed. It did not destroy a lot of units. We sent our teams to go and attend to the situation."

Mthethwa says they have a five-year agreement with the police that allows them to carry out searches at schools.
