By Own Correspondent- The first batch of students from St Charles Lwanga Boys High School in Chimanimani, who for the past three days have been stuck at their school with dead bodies of two fellow students and a security guard have been safely taken to Chipinge where they are reportedly receiving medical attention, the Information ministry has revealed.

The ministry however, did not state whether all the over 170 students and their teachers had been safely evacuated to Chipinge amid confirmation from some of the parents that their children were yet to be ferried to Chipinge as they were still on their way from Skyline.

Said the Information Ministry in a tweet:

A parent who spoke to ZimEye however said her son was yet to be taken to Chipinge since they were still walking in the company of their teachers to Chipinge.

“They were not rescued from Skyline as we were told earlier and they have been told to walk back towards Chipinge where they are going to be picked by a bus from an area called Silverstream.

They are yet to be evacuated from Chimanimani.”

The ministry however continued tweeting adding that what the students endured at the hands of Cyclone Idai was very traumatic.
