Some pupils at Chemhanza High School in Hwedza are nursing visible back injuries after allegedly being assaulted by the deputy head, with no details of the possible misconduct yet available.
But a report has been made to the police and pictures showing what are said to be the pupils’ wounded and bruised backs have been circulating on social media, drawing condemnation.
While corporal punishment of schoolboys is not explicitly banned in Zimbabwe, any disciplinary action that amounts to physical or psychological torture is barred under the latest amendments to the Education Act, and which have been argued to amount to a ban on beatings.
National police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi said while a report had been made, the police were yet to get full facts.
By the end of yesterday, it was not clear who had made the report to the police.
There are also different versions of the story. Some sources alleged that the pupils were caught in compromising behaviour and that parents, on being informed, advised the use of corporal punishment. But the sources stressed these were just allegations.
Another parent said the pupils, who are writing public examinations, were assaulted for making noise during examination time. I heard that they were punished for making noise, but one wonders why they would be severely beaten for that.
I saw the wounds and bruises on their backs and it is something unacceptable. The punishment is not commensurate with the offences allegedly committed.
School authorities could not be reached yesterday to comment on the issue. The Herald
There is no misconduct that can justify such treatment.

Mabodza Zoro Everest namai vakowo ihure mgodhoyi. Unopinza anamai duzvi iwe kuti zvidii. Idiot
Alfred Midzi Senior mentally deranged ndiwe. I think hautozivi baba vako. Don’t ever be a dad or if you’re your kids have a fool of a father. Are you just stupid to think kuti the deputy head will just single them out and beat them up for no reason? Chashamisa ipapa chii?
Anywhere L Podzo nhai hako. Twoda kutokwatwurwa futi.
Ci Ci Ushe une problem, wako mwana akapondwa kudai unofara here ??
Ci Ci Ushe why are you calling these girls twumahure .
Mabodza Zoro Everest vakabatwa vakarara nevakomana

Andrew Muza 🤣🤣🤣this is definition of kupondwa get real. Those bruises are nothing. Dai vakadzokororwa futi
Ci Ci Ushe mai vako ndivo hure.
Ci Ci Ushe plus apa ukuti mahure waverenga nyaya here ?? Why are you so quick to make a judgement and conclude that these kids are sluts ? The story says they were making noise during examinations , kids can make noise if they are not monitored
Now tell me, is it their problem that there was not an invigilator during exam session?
Alfred Midzi Senior abused🤣🤣🤣. Zimbos you shouldn’t have been introduced to technology. You’re abusing it. That’s definition of abuse for you. Pamwe pese vaidii kurohwa why just now? Vabatwa vakarara nevakomana vosiiwa?
Ronald Gore nevakowo vane musuri sewehuku. Stupid people. You insult vana mai vasiri pafacebook washaya zvituko. Stupid cunt.
Ci Ci Ushe do you thats my daughter wauri kuti tumahure. Baba ngochani. Mai hure, ndosaka musoro wako wakabhenda…lol
Ci Ci Ushe nyaya yechihure yawataura haimo munyaya, which means you have a problem of seeing every girl child as a slut…..that kind of steriotyping is dangerous coz it clouds you judgement to the extent you don’t see facts …
This is an abusive act and this deputy head is obviously going to jail for it. There are many ways to punish a child, not this one …..and in school motopihwa a circular every term richikuudza kuti corporal punishment is not allowed.
The story says they were making noise during exams, and that’s the problem of him the deputy head and teachers ,, learners under exam condition are supposed to be monitored by an invigilator and that leaves o room for noise making
Mabodza Zoro Everest she removed my comments. Idofo
Ci Ci Ushe ndepapi panzi vabatwa vakarara nevakomana?? Now you are lying again
Mabodza Zoro Everest I wonder, coz ndaverenga nyaya yese hapana pataurwa zvekunzi vaina nevakomana ,, hanzi vaiita noise during exam
