On the 30th of May 2022 at around 1900hrs, the brother of the now-deceased came back home and found the deceased’s body lying on the ground with a rope around his neck. Another piece of the rope was tied to the roof truss.

The deceased left a suicide note that stated that he has failed the school system and the system has failed him.

The informant made a report at ZRP Magwegwe and the body was conveyed to the mortuary.
