A 17-year-old pupil of Kasama Boys High School died on the spot after being struck by lightning.
The incident happened on Monday evening following heavy rains experienced in the District.
Kasama Boys High School head teacher Alex Mulenga confirmed the death of a grade eleven pupil whom he named to ZANIS in an interview, yesterday.
Mr. Mulenga explained that the pupil met his fate while he was returning home from Newtown area.
The body of the deceased is lying in Kasama General Hospital mortuary awaiting burial.
In a related development, a one by three classroom block at Musenga Basic School in Kasama has had its roof blown off by heavy rains coupled with strong winds.
This came to light when Mr. Mwansa and Ms. Mvula visited the school yesterday to check on the extent of the damage to the school infrastructure.
The DC assured school authorities that government would soon repair the damaged infrastructure so that lessons at the school could continue without disruption.

# 1 Mule and #Abdul whatever your name, koma mulifikopo, what’s wrong with that grammar? You mean you’ve never seen a sentence correctly phrased like that. You embarrass yourselves, it’s a good thing we don’t write our real names, don’t exhibit such ignorance in future unless you are really sure of what you’re condemning. Your primary/secondary school teachers, if at all you had any, did a lousy job on you guys.
# 8 you are very right, i think fyapala……amenshi yakonka umu folo.
