A 41-YEAR-OLD teacher was dragged to Guruve Magistrates’
Court after he allegedly fondled a Form 2 pupil’s breasts.
Taurai Madhumba appeared before Guruve resident magistrate
Shingirai Mutiro last week charged with contravening section 67 of the Criminal
Codification and Reform Act, Chapter 9:23.
Public prosecutor Albert Mazhindu alleged that on June 6,
Madhumba ordered the complainant to carry books to his office with the help of
two other pupils.
The complainant was the last to leave the office after the
teacher assigned her other duties in his office.
Madhumba reportedly asked why the complainant was gaining
weight before fondling her breasts several times.
She immediately filed a police report, leading to the
accused’s arrest. The matter was remanded to September 6 for continuation of
trial.
In a related matter, a Guruve teacher also appeared in
court for allegedly assaulting a Form 2 pupil and injuring her thumb.
According to court papers, Petros Mabheka assaulted the
pupil after she allegedly defied his orders.
The girl sustained a fractured thumb after she reportedly
received two strokes from Mabheka.
The educator pleaded not guilty to the charge, saying he
had disciplined 14 students and had no intention of injuring any of them.
The matter was remanded to September 27 for trial
continuation. Newsday
