“TODAY we have come to defeat Satan!” parents shouted yesterday at Bhekizizwe Senior Secondary.
The school near Coffee Bay made headlines last week when a strange condition gripped girl pupils.
Teachers and holy men have vowed to fight evil spirits.
On Thursday, grade 8 pupil Zusiphe Mtiki was rushed to the clinic and declared dead on arrival.
Zusiphe’s aunt Nosapho Nogqala was at the prayer meeting. “We are shocked by our daughter’s death. We are waiting for her dad to return from Joburg to make funeral plans,” she said.
Principal Thembinkosi Tshemese said evil spirits struck again on Friday as a frog jumped out of nowhere. “Satan is ravaging us. We need all the help we can get to fight back.”
Chief Zwelinzima Dalasile said: “Elders predict big trouble is brewing.
“But we will wait for government to lead the way.”
Classes were expected to resume today.
