Director of Education, Youth and Sports, Fiddess Msowoya, said betting and booze taking is the biggest problem in the district
“Some teachers and students spend most of their time in betting halls predicting football matches and other teachers are busy indulging in excessive beer drinking and in the process absconding classes,” she said.
Inkosi Jalavikuba Munthali, expressed worry that some teachers are using Ngoni Culture to drink beer excessively and in the process forgetting their responsibility.
