RENCO MINE – A teacher from Tugwane High School in Nyajena area of Masvingo district is alleged to have been assaulted by a former learner over satanism.
The development came a few days after school was suspended at the neighboring Nyabata High School over alleged Satanism attacks.
At Tugwane, the former learner is said to have accused one of the senior’s female teachers (Name supplied) of having initiated her into the cult.
Sources within the school said the former learner was expelled from school a few years ago over links to lesbianism and faith healers had failed to help saying she was deeply involved into Satanism.
Efforts to get a comment from the school head were futile as his cell was not reachable.
When contacted for comment, Masvingo District Schools Inspector Ishamel Chigaba said he was not aware of the incident saying he was away on a business trip. “I am only hearing that from you. I am not in Masvingo, I am in Mutoko right now and haven’t been informed about that incident,” said Chigaba
On the day in question around 9am on June 12, the girl went on to attack the teacher who was in her office using a broom until leaners from surrounding classes heard the noise and rushed to witness free drama as the attacker asked the teacher to undo what she had done to her.
“Other teachers tried to intervene but were told to stay away since they do not know what was happening. It was until the girl decided to leave and look for another male teacher whom she said was part of the cult when the teacher managed to escape to the staff quarters,” said the source
Sources further said prior to the incident, her parents had taken her to prophets where she would manifest saying she was initiated by the teacher when she was at school who she alleges to be the Queen mother in Nyajena area and parts of Zaka.
“She claimed that she was assigned to seduce other girls into sex since she is a tomboy and harvest the sexual fluids saying the teacher initiated a number of leaners which she does while they were in form one”
They would also collect semen from boys who would sleep with other girls who were also initiated from the school and surrounding areas,” said the source
Other sources said there were some isolated cases of leaners who would collapse at school and when taken by parents to faith healers they would also manifest saying they were into satanism.
At Nyabata High, learners were sent home after a spate of collapses on the same day and the school authorities felt they couldn’t contain it anymore.
The school head Borniface Chuma however, told TellZim News that all was well and learning resumed well the following day.
