Arrest Of 40 Students

In November 2021, forty students were arrested for malicious damage to property after they allegedly destroyed dining hall window panes. The students were also accused of attacking two police officers who had been called to investigate theft of food items from the high school dining hall.

The students reportedly also went on a rampage and damaged school head Mr Aquanos Mazhunga’s vehicle. More police re-enforcements were then called to bring the situation under control leading to the arrest of the 40 students.^[1] The 40 Gokomere College students were released on 8 November 2021 following an intervention by the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights. The Officer In Charge advised that if need be they will go after the "ring leaders".
