CYRENE Mission in Matabeleland South<\/a>, was on Wednesday hit by strong winds which destroyed property worth thousands of dollars while leaving hundreds of students without accommodation.<\/p>\n

According to the school headmaster Charles Bhebhe, the whirlwind blew off the roofs of Patterson Block which houses form three, four and five students.<\/p>\n

The heavy winds hit the school at around lunch time when most of the students were out of the dormitories.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe winds descended on the school all of a sudden. Within minutes, the whole Patterson block had its roof blown away. Luckily nobody was injured as the students were attending lessons when the incident occurred,\u201d said Bhebhe.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am on my way to school right now to assess the damage by the winds. When the incident happened, I was not around but I have been already informed about the incident.\u201d<\/p>\n

The school head said the school is frantically trying to look for alternative accommodation for the affected students.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is really a crisis considering that form four students and six are preparing for their examinations. In the meantime, the school might consider accommodating some students in classrooms,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
