Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Six female teachers stationed at Tshabili Primary School in Beitbridge East have fled their workplace after they were allegedly sexually abused by \u201cgoblins\u201d.<\/p>\n

Goblins are thought to be small, ugly, supernatural creatures, regarded as malevolent towards human beings.<\/p>\n

According to a report by the Southern Eye, the affected teachers claimed they were sexually violated at night.<\/p>\n

Some of the victims have reportedly refused to return to the school until rituals are conducted to get rid of the alleged goblins.<\/p>\n

Tshabili Primary School is located about 60km east of the border town.<\/p>\n

Beitbridge district development co-ordinator Sikhangezile Mafu-Moyo confirmed to the Southern Eye that she was aware of the matter. She said:<\/p>\n

I understand a meeting is on tomorrow (today) between my office, education officials, the school staff and the community.<\/p>\n

I am in Bulawayo on a different assignment but I have been informed of the issue.<\/p>\n

District Education Officer (DEO) Freedom Muleya also confirmed that a meeting was to be convened over the issue. Said Muleya:<\/p>\n

Officials from our office will attend the meeting. This is not an issue our office can solve, it\u2019s something to do with the community, traditional leadership and the local authority. These reports were made as early as January.<\/p>\n

The victims reported at the district education offices, the local district council offices and Mafu-Moyo\u2019s office on Thursday and narrated their ordeal.<\/p>\n

Majili Primary School in Bubi District, Matabeleland North province, was briefly shut down in June 2022 after alleged goblins molested female teachers.<\/p>\n
