of students at Nyatsime College in Chitungwiza.
This comes after some students made a police report
alleging that Nyatsime College staff in general, and the boarding master in
particular have, on several occasions, sexually abused some girls and boys
learning at the institution. It is alleged that some boys have been sodomised

abuse by the same staff.
