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.

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We have a shortage of Pathologists.Our laboratories have outdated equipment.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.
