Joyce Banda Foundation schools in Chimwankhunda, Blantyre are under siege from pupils and students from adjoining schools, angry that Joyce Banda is failing to attend to problems that have forced their teachers to go on strike, while learning is continuing at her schools. They are arguing that not everyone can do his or her learning at Joyce Banda schools.

Therefore she must deal with the problems to let the teachers return to the public schools, or learning at Joyce Banda will also be disrupted. The picture shows some of the pupils in the legion of the disruptive protests at the school being partly seen in cream paint.
