Police in Kitwe have dispersed a group of pupils from Matete Basic School who staged a protest over the delayed examination.
The grade 9 pupils are protesting the delay in writing their Examinations.
The pupils gathered at their school early in the morning for their Examinations, but where only told that government has not yet given a go ahead to write exams.
This however, agitated the pupils who organized themselves and started to sing songs.
The pupils later ruched to close Central Street which leds to Copperbelt Energy Corporation and Nkana East and back to town.
However, a quick action by the police prevented the riots from getting outbif hand.
And some pupils talked to have expressed concern that the continued delay in writing their exams will disturb them.
“We want to write the exams. If they have canceled the exams why can’t they prepare new papers so that we write. We are not disturbed because we are losing focus. We had prepared enough,” a pupil Abigail Musonda said.
Later, the police had to move to Kitwe Boys to stop the pupils who had gathered to protest.
Police have since been deployed in schools to prevent any possible riots by pupils.
Tiye tiye nayo dununa regret
There is something special about Kopala and Kitwe.
They have shown that they can riot if not happy with government decisions.
Where is the president who is supposed to be leading this country? Nakofye ukushana no kupitana. Tiye nabo. We told you
The president is in NAMWALA.
Little boys with little H-understanding.
Dont kill the little ones……………. Dont throw the tear gas……………..Tayali dont accuse HH for the pupils’ protest……………… Anyway you do not have a child…………… Therefore Tayali dont speak as if you know what it cost to raise children……………
A working government for real …………even pupils exams are cancelled as if the pupils hack ECZ site to access exams papers…………..

Above all dont accuse foreigners……. Dont call pupils gays………… Ba PF ni bo vuta……….. hear what mumbi and her boss will say……………. cadres to the core……..No soni as long as they eat……… what a people?
This is very sad for Mother-Zambia. The country is a Banana Republic now where nothing and i say nothing works! Law and order has broken loose!
While I support the cause of the students and their right to mobilize, I think that proper channels of airing grievances should be followed. Demonstrations require permits. Blocking roads is destructive, riotous behaviour can lead to consequences not intended by the students, such as criminal elements taking advantage of the confusion to loot businesses.
Guys at the MoE, you mean you had no plan B. These are easy matters to handle. it does not take days. in 1994 a history paper was cancelled and within two days we knew the date we would re-take the paper. come on guys, mwalabamweneshelamo ba PF!
The problem in this country is that you have a death at UNZA, the president is quite, you have leakages of exams he is quiet, Ministers have not paid back the money for illegal stay in office the president is quite, people purchase a fire tender for 1 million dollar one, he is quite and if I were him I would have been the first one to censor my colleagues and said, assuming there was no corruption this is still not prudence. The POA is abused, and the leader of the country is quiet and not questioning the perpetrators. Surely what type of Leadership is this, I don’t like HH but it now means I have no alternative. PF not again for me, Sorry. I was even better in MMD economically.
Dont say ‘I’ but ‘we’ 90% of citizens were better under mmd
We have leaders without any vision for mother Zambia. Their only interest is to loot and loot our meagre resources.
Lungu! What a shear waste of time to have him as our President!
