A 22-YEAR-OLD pupil who allegedly set fire to a school near Duiwelskloof after he failed grade 11 twice will be charged with arson, said Northern Province police said on Monday. Lowveld police spokesman Captain Thomas Ramatseba said the suspect apparently blamed his teachers at Mphuma High School after he failed two years in a row. The school was set alight at about 10pm on Friday, and when neighbours tried to stop the fire he threw stones at them. “The angry crowd assaulted him, and he had to be rescued by police,” said Ramatseba. Police took him to Kgapane hospital, where he was treated for minor burns and injuries, and discharged.
