A Christ Ministries High School chemistry teacher has been
fired for dating his pupil.
Tsumbirani Mabanga’s illicit affair with the pupil came to
light after their romantic photographs went viral on social media.
School headmaster Shelton Kaungwa said that a swift action
was taken after Mabanga admitted to his offence.
“The child was in Upper Six but according to our code of
conduct, it’s not allowed and it’s a dismissible offence that is why we fired
him,” said Kaungwa.
“To us it was a gross violation of ethics of a teacher and
we could not wait although messages circulating on social media suggests that
no action was taken.
“It is my duty as a head of the school to protect school
children. “It might not be any offence to the law of the country because of age
but to the school it’s a serious offence and its dismissal offence.
“As for the child, to us as a school we can say its abuse
that she got from the teacher in the name of trust and teacher has power over
child,” said Kaungwa.
H-Metro tracked down Mabanga who confirmed dating the child
arguing that she was an adult.
“It’s true I am dating the girl but the girl is above 18
not 15 as it is said by some of you guys,” said Mabanga.
“I didn’t date the girl at school but after she was done
with school. As for the leaked pictures where we were kissing each other I
don’t know who leaked them and I don’t know what was their motive behind that.
“If I had a case to answer, police could have arrested me
by the time the issue came to light,” he said. H Metro
