An
I was there when the incident occurred.
After the crowning of Miss Asitavi, the crowd wanted to dance
with students but the school management refused, leading to rowdy drunks abusing
staff and students.
In the ensuing commotion, several shots were fired from high
powered rifles. The incident continued until five in the morning.
It has tarnished the good name of the community and several traumatised
parents said they will transfer their children to other schools.
The fundraising event got off to a bad start when parents
and citizens failed to assist students build pr staff the stalls at the bazaar.
Even the community around the school did not participate in
fundraising activities organised during the three-day event.

trouble broke out, Imelda Kanasu, a Grade 10 student, was crowned Miss Asitavi.
She is seen here with headmistress, Eleine Baris. New Dawn FM sponsored two mobile
phones as prizes for the Miss Asitavi Quest - Miss Traditional and the Miss
Photogenic.
