Baboon Sexually Assaults Female Teachers, Students in Zimbabwe Follow @Hitbizafrika

Female students and teachers at a Zimbabwean primary school have abandoned the institution claiming that a baboon sexually abuses them at night.

Laila’s Blog, citing sources at the school reported that female members of staff would wake up without their underwear or with signs that they had sex the night before.

The source said: “One of the teachers said she woke up towards midnight on July 10 and saw a man with a baboon in her room. She said she screamed and the two disappeared through a wall.”

Samson Ncube, 70 a villager, said an emergency meeting was held on Saturday, July 11.  Adding that teachers would not spend another night at the school.

He said: “They said they were being sexually abused by the baboon. Everyone’s story came out with some saying they had been afraid to speak out because they weren’t sure of what was going on.”

However school activities for the 439 pupils have been suspended as only the headmaster, Mandlenkosi Maqeda, and two male teachers have stayed.

They said 10 female teachers fled after the baboon, suspected to be a goblin, had been terrorising them for a month.

Kelvin Mathe, the Tsholotsho district education officer said the matter was under investigation. He said the community was yet to come up with a solution to the problem.
