Four female teachers left Gohole II Primary School in Kezi, this term after complaining that they were being sexually abused by suspected goblins resulting in them waking up with semen on their bodies and wearing male underwear.
School Development Committee chairman Mr Eleck Sibanda said the four female teachers wrote letters explaining their experiences. Said Sibanda:
We are very concerned about the well-being of this school. Four female teachers have left this term after complaining that goblins were abusing them. We have developed the school so much and it would be sad if it is closed because of this matter. A solution must be found soon before all the teachers leave.
A villager, Mrs Theodora Ncube, who spoke to Sunday News said that she has been sexually abused by goblins as well. Said Mrs Ncube:
I’m not ashamed to tell everyone here what the goblins are doing to me. My husband died, but I wake up having signs that I was with a man at night. I sleep alone in my room but in the morning I will be with a man beside me. I can’t even have another husband because the goblin chases them away. I have even gone to spiritual healers and they have confirmed that I’m being made to sleep with a goblin.
Villagers appealed to Chief Nyangazonke to organise a cleansing ceremony. Matabeleland South Acting Provincial Education Director Mr Lifias Masukume said he has not yet received the report on the situation at the school.
