Kwekwe District Schools Inspector, Mr. Herbert Maziriri said he was yet to receive a report from the school head.
“We are yet to receive the report from the school head but once we do receive it, we will be able to share what happened. But since these are still allegations, the normal procedure would be that investigations will be carried out to get to the bottom of the matter,” he said.
School head, Mr Titos Shoko confirmed the incident.
“The teacher was picked up by police and is in police custody. The issue came to light after one of the alleged victims reported the matter to his parents who came to the school,” said Mr Shoko.
