By Own Correspondent| Students, teachers and staff at St Charles Lwanga in Chimanimani are still stuck at the school with 3 dead bodies 3 days after cyclone Idai hit Manicaland, ZimEye can exclusively reveal.

The students at the Catholic run boarding school are reportedly still marooned at the school disconnected from the rest of the country following the destruction of bridges linking the school to other areas.

Said one parent who spoke to ZimEye who is currently in Mutare central business district waiting for her son to be rescued.

“I can imagine the trauma my Form 1 son is going through knowing that they cannot be rescued.

They have told us that they cannot fly and rescue them because of the bad weather. We have been told that they are going to try and rescue them using ground tactics.

We were however optimistic that they would rescue them today because the weather was much better.

Please pray for our children.”
