Choma District Commissioner Laiven Apuleni has given a 48 hour ultimatum to authorities at Saint Patrick’s basic school to recover a school laptop allegedly grabbed by the husband to a deceased teacher.
Mr Apuleni said the laptop computer is government property as it was purchased using public funds. He issued the directive yesterday during a heated Parent Teacher Association (PTA) executive meeting.
This followed a report submitted to the meeting that a named man believed to be the husband to a deceased teacher was holding on to the laptop because the school owed him money for goods supplied to the institution.
The DC directed that the computer be brought back to the school within 48 hours failure to which the school headmaster and PTA executive would be charged.
Mr Apuleni also appealed to the District Education Board Secretary (DEBS) to caution teachers with degrees against looking down on those with diplomas or certificates.

husband : he he eh zey will never catch me. ze laptop-check, ze towel-check, ze handlotion-check..hehehe. naymukupowa
Eh ba DC na imwe ! How much is a laptop ? This kinds of news should be debated at your office level.
It should not make a headline in the media at all.
‘Mr Apuleni also appealed to the District Education Board Secretary (DEBS) to caution teachers with degrees against looking down on those with diplomas or certificates’
What does he mean? he wants certificate teachers to be ‘treated’ equal as degreed ones????
THE DEGREE HOLDING TEACHERS ARE JUST FOLLOWING THE CONSTITUTION. IF YOU HAVE A DEGREE THEN YOU ARE “FULL” ZAMBIAN. THATS WHAT THE MMD WANTS. I AGREE WITH Samurai. This is not news. it is just something to deal with administratively. it is the case of the Education office and not Dc.
It is not about degres, diplomas or certificate. It’s retriving school property.
is it the katele prototype laptop?
But zo-ona a laptop is more of a personal thing.Why not the schoool having a good desk top computer than a lap top.:-?
