The headmaster of Tennyson Hlabangana High School in Bulawayo reportedly committed suicide after saying that he had “failed the school system and the school system had failed him”.
Lwelizwe Edson Bhebhe (42) of Lobengula Extension suburb
was on Monday night found lying lifeless on the ground with a rope around his
neck at his brother’s house in Magwegwe suburb.
Bulawayo provincial police spokesperson Inspector Abednico
Ncube said they were investigating the case.
“Police in Bulawayo are investigating a case of sudden
death by hanging which occurred in Magwegwe suburb, Bulawayo on the 30th of
May; the deceased is Lwelizwe Edson Bhebhe, a male adult aged 42 of Lobengula
Extension who is a headmaster at Tennyson Hlabangana High school,” said
Inspector Ncube.
It seems the rope, Mr Bhebhe used to hang himself, snapped.
“The now deceased visited his brother in Magwegwe on the
28th of May 2022 and could not find anyone at the house but he stayed. On the
30th of May 2022 at around 1900hrs, the brother of the now deceased came back
home and found the deceased’s body lying on the ground with a rope around his
neck. Another piece of the rope was tied on the roof truss.
“The deceased left a suicide note that stated that he has
failed the school system and the system has failed him.
“The informant made a report at ZRP Magwegwe and the body
was conveyed to the mortuary,” said Inspector Ncube.
He urged members of the public to share their problems with
others or to approach local counsellors, church leaders and other relevant
personnel as committing suicide is not a solution to any problem.- Chronicle
