Some teachers and senior students were allegedly implicated
in the heinous act.
The matter has since been taken to Shamva Social Welfare
department for management and police for investigations.
Some parents and guardians have transferred their children,
after the reports emerged, despite spirited attempts to keep the whole saga a
secret.
One of the parents told H-Metro that the headmaster (name
supplied) of the school was among the suspects.
Among the perpetrators, according to the reports, is a
14-year-old boy.
“I have since transferred my child over this matter,” said
one of the concerned parents.
“He was sexually abused several times and we have been
lodging reports to the school authorities without any action being taken.
“He was abused by one of the students and the involvement
of Social Welfare and police exposed some of the perpetrators, who included
some teachers and the headmaster.
“That is why they were not taking action despite receiving
several reports pertaining to this matter,” said the parent.
The Mashonaland Central Provincial Social Welfare officials
could not be reached for comment, but sources close to the department confirmed
compiling a report which was taken to police.
“We are not in a position to comment but the case was
brought to our attention and all procedures pertaining to the matter were
followed.
“We managed to interview the victims including all the
perpetrators and handed a compiled report to police,” said the source. H Metro
