Jameson High School Remains Closed After Learners Faint

Jameson High School in Kadoma, Mashonaland West Province remains closed, a week after 53 learners and staff members were hospitalised after inhaling toxic emissions on the premises.

Authorities are still investigating the composition and origin of the harmful substance.

Initial suspicions of liquified petroleum gas leakages were ruled out after all gas taps were found to be closed.

Kadoma Council’s health director, Dr. Daniel Chirundu told H-Metro that samples have been sent to South Africa for testing and the case is being handled at the government level. He said:

We haven’t got the results of the samples yet. The case is now being handled at the central government level.

All learners were sent home and no learning will take place until the situation normalise.

The Midlands State University (MSU) National Pathology Research and Diagnostic Centre (NPRDC) is also investigating the incident.

Now I believe we don't have any Chemical engineers in Zimbabwe 😅 sending something so simple to SA. One funny thing it remind me at how good we are pakupa mazita ema University for exampleN.U.S.T.(National University of Science and Technology)🤣, anobuditsa ma graduates anongoziva theory but practical dololo

Samples were sent to SA for testing from a country that has produced world renowned chemical engineers? Is this a joke? What are these people studying and what materials are they using, how are they getting these PhDs if they can't do these simple tests?

On this platform we have students doing sciences at most Chemistry cause the incidence is chemicals, however, we can not do anything as its now at central level but to some especially students want to know which how and where does this gas evolve from, My assumption is the heat could have cause some chemical to sublime and in the process fuse with the abundance of another gas, the mixture can be dangerous if inhaled, iodine gas is known to be a very dangerous gas so is mercury What are your assumptions

The fact that in 2023 we are still sending samples to south Africa,speaks volumes. We have a shortage of Pathologists.Our laboratories have outdated equipment. What hurts me the most is the state of our government hospital mortuaries, Especially now that we are in summer and it's hot.Some of the air conditioning and refrigerators like the one in UBH is not working properly, with load sheading,the odour,lord have mercy!!!You find corpses staked like firewood one on top of the other, just pilled up and rotting.The freezer there was last installed during Rhodesia. You find that butcheries have good refrigerators way better than mortuaries.Its like we are saying a dead cow is more special than a dead human being. Everything in this country is just a mess,a complete mess,it's like an abandoned home without a mother and father.The orphaned children are left alone to be abused by a drunk opportunistic Step mother,who doesn't care about their well-being.

First jus to make it clear that um called HeadMaster only becoz musoro wangu wakakurisa. Ok down to serious bussiness, schools should have qualified Lap technicians to handle chemicals because this is not an isolated case i witnessed a teacher who succumbed to inhaling these chemicals at the Labs at a certain school and a number of learners and staff members were hospitalised where unfortunately one passed on. Labs should be a no go area for people without knowldge on handling chemicals.
