Njengoba amazinga okushisa ehlile ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezedlule, abantu abangenamakhaya e-Alice, e-Eastern Cape, baphoqeleka ukuthi bafune imfudumalo esikoleni sendawo.
Kodwa isinqumo sabo sokubasa umlilo ukuze bafudumale ngaphakathi esikoleni samabanga aphezulu i-Jabavu siholele enhlekeleleni.
Kuthiwa umlilo uqale ekilasini elilodwa wasabalala kwamanye amagumbi amaningi ezintatha zangoLwesithathu.
Amakilasi ezibalo ne-physics ebanga le-12, umtapo wolwazi wesikole, izindlu zangasese zelaborathri zesayensi kanye nezibalo, igumbi lesikole lokugcina izinto ngisho nesitolo sesikole kushe kwaba umlotha.
Uthisha, ongathandanga kudalulwe igama lakhe, utshele i-Scrolla.Africa ukuthi isikole sabo asinalo uthango olufanele futhi bekuzoba lula ukuthi abantu abangenamakhaya bahlale ngaphakathi emakilasini.
“Lokhu kuthinte kakhulu ukufundisa nokufunda. Silahlekelwe yizo zonke izincwadi ebesizigcina kumtapo wolwazi . Silahlekelwe yikho konke okukhona emalabhorethri ama-computer ezibalo nesayensi,” kusho lo thisha.
Umlilo wokhelwe yiqoqo elikhulu lomtapo wolwazi wesikole.
“Ukusha komtapo wolwazi kusikhathazile ngoba yilapho esigcina khona izincwadi zokufunda. Bekunempahla ebizayo emalabhorethri ezesayensi nezibalo,” kwengeza uthisha.
Uthe bese bevele beqalile ngezivivinyo ezibalulekile ngesikhathi kwenzeka le nhlekelele.
“Uma siqhubeka nokufundisa sizobe sibeka abafundi engcupheni ngoba izindonga zamakilasi ziyaqhekeka”.
Uthe umnyango wesifunda uthembise ukuthi uzosiza ngamakilasi angomahamba nendlwana ukuze ukufundisa nokufunda kuqhubeke ngesonto elizayo.
Umhlali ohlala maqondana nesikole, u-Athenkosi Mbele, uthe umphakathi uvuswe ukuqhuma okukhulu. Ngesikhathi beyobheka babone ukuthi isikole siyasha.
“Sibuke singenakuzisiza ngoba umlilo ubunamandla kakhulu, bekungekho ebesingakwenza. Abezicishamlilo bafike ngemuva kwamahora amabili bawubhula,” kusho uMbele.
Ukuqinisekisile ukuthi kunabafana abancane abasebenzisa amagceke esikole uma kubanda kakhulu ababasa umlilo.
Okhulumela amaphoyisa uBrigadier Tembinkosi Kinana uthe baphenya icala lokushisa impahla.
Okhulumela uMnyango wezeMfundo e-Eastern Cape uMalibongwe Mtima ubengakayiphenduli imibuzo yethu ngesikhathi sokushicilelwa.
