A form six pupil at Gokomere High School has shocked the
community, fellow pupils and the community at large when she successfully
concealed her pregnancy for nine months until she gave birth in the dormitories
at the school early this week.
Gokomere High School head Aquanos Mazhunga refused to
comment on the matter saying he was seized with other important matters ahead
of schools lockdown due to the Covid 19 pandemic.
Sources at the school said that Mercy Marimbe managed to
fool everyone including her parents, teachers and friends on her pregnancy and
no one even suspected a thing.
“She is fat so it became easier for her to conceal the
pregnancy. Everyone just thought that she was getting fat and there was no sign
of pregnancy.
“We were surprised to hear that there is a pupil who has
given birth in the dormitories and everyone was shocked to see that Marimbe had
delivered her baby but no one noticed the pregnancy.
“The school went on to notify her parents that they had a
grandchild and they could not believe it since they did not see the pregnancy,”
said a teacher who preferred anonymity.
It is said that Marimbe had stopped eating sadza at the
school lying to her friends that she had ulcers and sadza would make her sick.
Marimbe gave birth during the night when other pupils were
tucked into their beds only to be awakened by labour sounds.
Other pupils are said to have switched on the lights and
saw Marimbe pushing her baby out and ran to alert the school matron who came
and assisted Marimbe before she was taken to the clinic. TellZim News
