KZN Education says it will not repair Durban school torched by pupils
KZN Basic Education Department says sections of a Pinetown Secondary school have been torched by its pupils who are believed to be unsatisfied with their grades.
On Wednesday, some of the buildings at Zwelinjani Secondary School in Zwelibomvu were set alight when the pupils saw their poor results reflected on their reports.

Pupils blamed the teachers for their poor performance and proceeded to torch the principal's office, school kitchen and staff room.
KZN Education spokesperson, Kwazi Mthethwa says they will not repair the damages.
"If ever there's a school that was destroyed deliberately in protest to anything, then it will mean the department won't be able to repair that school because we have a lot of other schools elsewhere within the community of KwaZulu-Natal who are in need of infrastructure."
"We can't keep on building schools when we have people who keep on destroying those schools," he said.
