School Teacher Killed For Sleeping With Student

A Filabusi teacher has been fatally assaulted for bedding a Form 3 pupil, according to the police.

Matabeleland South provincial police spokesperson Inspector Philisani Ndebele said Butholezwe Mlalazi (33) who was employed as a teacher at Bungwe High School was caught by a veterinary services employee, Gideon Sibanda (28) while being intimate with a school pupil who resided at Sibanda’s house. The pupil was aged 23.

The incident took place on 21 June around 10pm.

Said Inspector Ndebele:

On 21 June at around 8am, Sibanda left home for work and when he returned at around 10pm, he went to the kitchen where the pupil sleeps, to fetch some water. Sibanda found Mlalazi sleeping in the kitchen with the pupil. Angered by the incident, Sibanda slapped the pupil once before he went on to assault Mlalazi with booted feet on his head.

Ndebele was taken to hospital where he died three days later.

Sibanda has been charged with murder.

Conflicted a bit here. We mean, there is the part where there is the teacher-student relationship. That is a holy grail. She was 23. Then the killing is a bit much. Way too much. It’s ridiculous.
