THE Eengedjo Senior Secondary School at Omungwelume in the Ohangwena Region temporary shut its doors on Friday, after a number of pupils started fainting, claiming that they were plagued by ‘black things’.
Incidents of mass hysteria at schools in the North are not unusual around the time of examinations.A teacher at the school told The Namibian over the weekend that about 26 pupils were taken to hospital but doctors could find nothing wrong with them.It is the fifth school in the North to report such ‘supernatural’ problems of late. The others are the Mweshipandeka Senior Secondary School in the Oshana Region, Ondeka Combined in the Omusati Region, Mumbwenge Combined in the Ohangwena Region and Ondukuta Combined in Omusati.
