MASINGO – Zim GBC News has come up with disturbing allegations of a sexual encounter involving students at Masasi High School, which has sparked a police investigation and prompted the intervention of the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education.
The incident, which allegedly occurred in February during a lunch break, came to light after a video reportedly involving the students began circulating on social media platforms this past week.
According to sources close to the investigation who spoke to Zim GBC News, initial claims that a female student was raped are being contested. A source within the community stated,
“The girl was not raped. She was given $5 after they had agreed. They are both in Form Four.”
Police were swiftly dispatched to the school following the emergence of the video.
“The police have already been here. The Provincial education office was here today,” a source revealed, indicating the seriousness with which authorities are treating the matter.
The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education is expected to conduct its own visit to the school imminently.
Further details from the investigation suggest the encounter may have been premeditated. A source explained,
“The girl previously had someone arrested for making similar claims, who is now in prison. It is alleged that she told a young man, who was seen with her in the video wearing a white hat, that he was incapable alone and should bring a friend so they could ‘manage’ her together.”
The source added,
“The boy then came with a friend, which is why the video shows the incident taking place in a secluded area without signs of a struggle. The claim of rape does not hold; it appears this was a arranged situation that highlights a deeper moral problem.”
However, conflicting reports from another source describe the video’s content as deeply concerning, alleging that the young woman was coerced and that the acts were not consensual.
At the time of publication, police officials had not yet released an official statement.
The case has caused significant anxiety within the school community, with many awaiting the findings of the official investigations.
Meanwhile the police have arrested the two juveniles who were involved is the sexual assault.
