In an episode right out of the movie teachers at a school in Bulawayo are refusing to use one of the laboratories at the school claiming that it is haunted. Even after the government’s “ghostbusters” went over the lab exorcising it of spirits the teachers would not budge.

What happened is that back in 2016 one of the Science teachers, Trust Dube, was conducting experiments in the laboratory at Mandwandwe High School in Bulawayo when he died. The suspicion is that he died when he inhaled toxic fumes whilst inside the facility.

Thus the haunting episode began. People at the school, for some reason, began to think that the lab was haunted. The government and authorities suspected that the lab was still contaminated hence people where inadvertently inhaling these remaining fumes creating a “haunted” atmosphere.

According to the Minister of Primary and Secondary Education, Paul Mavima, several organisations including Datlabs, the National University of Science and Technology, Environment Management Agency, Bulawayo City Council and the Department of Public Works have all been to the school to assist with investigations

The ministry has taken all necessary measures to ensure that the laboratory is used for its intended purpose. After the suspicion that there was toxic material, a committee worked together with Bulawayo City Council and Environment Management Agency in order to sanitise the situation to assure our learners and teachers for their safety, a detoxification exercise was conducted

Even after this scientific ghostbusting exercise teachers at the school were not still convinced the lab was not haunted. The laboratory remained unused as teachers simply refused to use it. Thus, in essence, a good laboratory was lying unutilised.

Faced with this stiff resistance the government has since deployed one of its psychologists to the school. Probably to convince these very paranoid science teachers that ghosts aren’t real. I mean ghosts aren’t real right?

Following a tropical cyclone that tore through the eastern parts of Zimbabwe, the southern African country is weighing up the loss of life as well as the impact of the damage to infrastructures such as roads, bridges and business.

According to a member of the Confederation of Zimbabwe Industry, Henry Nemaire, who is based in the affected Manicaland region, there has been extensive damage in terms of road infrastructure which has made some business operations such as plantations inaccessible. Most of Zimbabwe’s plantations are in the Eastern Highlands region.

“There is extensive damage in terms of roads, bridges and power lines …

“The main focus is to make sure that power is restored in the Chimanimani and Chipinge district where most of the export oriented farms are located.

Nemaire said the farms might have to power factories for the next four weeks.

“But for us to be producing export goods, using diesel, it will be too expensive for the export market, so we need power to be restored urgently.”

He also called on Government to waiver duty on fuel for the affected companies ranging from timber, tea, coffee, macadamia and avocado plantations.

Listed entity, Ariston Holdings, which counts South Africa’s Origin Global Holdings Limited as its major shareholder, has macadamia and avocado plantations in one of the ravaged areas, Chipinge.

Reports from the company say in addition to the damage on buildings, warehouses and other facilities at the farms, the macadamia and avocado plantations were also heavily damaged.

While the extent of the damage is still to be ascertained, Ariston is heavily invested in macadamia having invested in a world class nuts processing plant and irrigation facilities as well as doubling of production to 1 351 tonnes. Last year, its avocado exports stood at 160 tonnes.

Tanganda, owned by Pick n Pay partner Meikles, has 458 hectares of avocado and 779 hectares of macadamia nuts.

“We also hope that the national engineering team will also help in restoring access to affected areas,” said Nemaire.

The Ministry of Transport and Infrastructural Development has already implemented an Emergency Response Plan, that is aimed at opening up washed away roads and repairing bridges to enable accessibility in Chimanimani in the shortest time possible, according to Transport Minister Joel Matiza.

Some roads and bridges in Chimanimani are currently cordoned off to make way for engineers to work on the damaged roads in the shortest possible time.
