FOUR pupils from Temeraire High School took advantage of
casual wear on civics day to sneak out of the school where they bought beer
which they drank in a classroom before engaging in sex.
The pupils, two boys and two girls were allegedly caught by
a teacher who reported them to the headmaster. The school head, Mr Thomas
Mureriwa confirmed the incident which occurred last week but chose to downplay
the matter saying it was an act of indiscipline by pupils that had since been dealt
with by the authorities.
“Who told you about that? It happened but it is not as you
have described it. It was a normal case of pupils’ indiscipline which we have
dealt with accordingly. However, the Ministry of Primary and Secondary
Education is still making its own investigation, you can contact our district
office,” said Mr Mureriwa.
Masvingo provincial education director Mr Zadius Chitiga
said the matter had not yet come to his attention.
“I have not yet received the matter as of now. I will find
out from the school, at the moment I am chairing a crucial meeting,” said Mr
Chitiga.
However, staff at the school said the pupils took advantage
of security laxity on the day and sneaked out where they bought beer before
smuggling it back.
“They started drinking the beer in class of all the places.
After getting drunk they started caressing each other before they became
intimate. One of us caught them and reported the matter to the head,” said a
teacher at the school.
The teacher said the headmaster first reported the matter
to police but police allegedly refused to arrest them and said the matter could
be dealt with by the school authorities.
The pupils doing Form Four and Lower Six were released
without being charged of any offence. Sunday News
