Mufaro Mungezi* aged 9 doing his 3rd grade at Mahachi Primary school at Gecheche Growth point in Chipinge
and child abuse
was assaulted by the school’s School Development Committee (SDC) Chairperson Mr Kudakwashe Chiororo.
This was as a result of remaining seated when his name was called out on the list of those who had not paid
what they owed the school in fees. The reason for the gesture by Mufaro was because he knew that his fees had
already been paid before the start of the first term. The development came after the child had been sent away
from school for reasons of not having paid the fees which made the parents Shadreck Mangezi and Ellinah
Sithole suspect that the child was being untruthful as they had paid the fees.They instructed him to remain
seated in the event that his name was on the list of those who had not yet paid their fees. After the incident the
parents approached the school with the receipt indicating the fees payment and the headmaster of the school Mr
Lyson Sithole apologized. The perpetrator refused to apologize for his actions. The parents are considering
making a police report.
