Ownership wrangle: Pupils ordered to share classes

parties sharing the same classes.
The school and Herentals College are the victims of an ownership wrangle over the land the school is built on with two title deeds for the same property.
The holder of one of the deeds sold the land and buildings to Herentals while the other backs Cold Comfort School.
The pupils are easily distinguished by their uniforms.
CCJ wears green uniforms while those from Herentals wear blue colours.
The latest development comes after Harare provincial education director Mr Edward Shumba last Thursday directed staff at the school to continue with their lessons and to report to the police if any violence breaks out.
According to the Ministry of Education, the dispute should be treated as a legal matter to be dealt with at court.
The dispute was sparked when Herentals bought the school from Uni-Time Investments last year.
There are also counter-allegations of dealings between Uni-time Investments (Pvt) Ltd and Release Power Investments (Pvt) Ltd.
The school was on Tuesday morning closed following clashes between officials from Herentals and parents when the former changed everything saying they were the new owners.
Herentals who reportedly bought the buildings and land on which the school is built from Uni-time Investments said they owned the property.
It has, however, emerged that both Uni-time and Release Power have title deeds to the property housing the school.
