A WEEK of pupils suffering from mysterious seizures, hysterical crying and even allegations of "spirits" attacking girls' private parts in the school toilets led to an urgent meeting with parents.
But instead of calming the situation, the meeting yesterday descended into chaos with parents shouting and shoving.
In the end, the principal of Port St John's Senior Secondary School had to be escorted from the premises by cops!
The meeting had barely started when some pupils dropped like flies under a nearby tree.
As the meeting turned into a shouting match, the SunTeam rushed to a scene under the tree where a pupil had suddenly dropped to the ground and started screaming. Soon another girl pupil collapsed and also started crying.
A 17-year-old pupil claimed only last week an inyanga came to the school and found a small bottle next to the principal's office, saying it was the cause of demonic spirits at the school.
Education district director Thandeka Vikalahle said officials were sent to the school for an assessment.
Police spokesman Captain Mduduzi Godlwana said they would continue to monitor the situation.
