94 pupils assaulted over fees arrears

PARENTS in Harare’s Glen View suburb have petitioned the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education demanding the immediate
expulsion of Glen View I High School head, Alois Maronga, whom they accuse of assaulting 94 pupils over non-payment of fees.

One of the parents, Givemore Matanhire, approached the ministry’s provincial offices last month to register his concern over Maronga’s conduct after his daughter was severely beaten over outstanding fees.

In a letter dated June 4 2015 and addressed to Matanhire, the ministry’s acting principal director identified as Jacob Gonese confirmed receiving several similar complaints but said “appropriate action” had already been taken against Maronga.
