The school has shown no mercy to parents especially during a time where the general populace is really struggling to make ends meet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Parents are coming from holidays and the January disease is at hand, as the Country\u2019s economy is sinking and Covid-19 has exacerbated the financial challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The parents for the writing classes complained about the unreasonable fees as compared to the school\u2019s sister schools, Mtshabezi High School and Matopo High School, which they said they only wanted ZWL$ 17 000 and ZWL$ 19 000 respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All other schools demanded amounts less than US$100, which parents term fair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other schools have considered that students have been home for only 2 weeks and parents are still not in a right space to pay huge amounts of money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many parents then decided that they will be driving their children to school on their writing days and according to them, they will not owe the school any cent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are all regretting taking our children to Wanezi in the first place, the school is disorganised, the kind of food that they give our children doesn\u2019t add to the money we pay. Right now they\u2019re just serving us with a written note demanding fees to be paid upon the opening day. They don\u2019t sit down with the School Development Committee (SDC) to negotiate like many other schools do, there is no professionalism in Wanezi\u201d Said a parent who spoke to Zim GBC News yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI will never advise any parent to take their kids to Wanezi because \u2018kuyalotsholwa ngale\u2019. It\u2019s sister schools are doing well, they consult parents and have very good results over the years. We need transparency in schools because we trust them with our children\u201d, responded another parent who preferred anonymity , in an interview with this reporter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Parents complained that the school should at least attend to their concerns that they presented on the school\u2019s WhatsApp group which includes parents and teachers, as well as the Headmaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s fine with the admin to keep quiet, no response to our concerns. They are forgetting that these form 4s would be enrolling for A level next year. We have been together for 4 years and this is how they pay us, vakutirasa at last\u201d, said another parent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another parent, only identified as AliGee, shared in the school\u2019s WhatsApp group;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat we have here is a tyrannical governing body which thinks it\u2019s not accountable to anyone. They have got their way repeatedly over the years and now they are confident they can tell us what to do and we jump. They are still using the old principle of Divide and Rule. Right now they are waiting for enough people to pay so they can put pressure to those who don\u2019t\u2026but like any other tyranny they will overstep the mark at some point and this time they have.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Allegedly, for more than 4 years now, the school has been charging money for projects and nothing has been done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
