Secondary school diverts pupils' exam fees to school fees

A secondary school in Mbembesi has reportedly diverted exam fees for pupils who were in arrears with their school fees.

Eustice Ginya has criticised Sojini Secondary School for denying pupils their right to education.

In a Facebook Ginya encouraged parents to always try and pay school fees but bashed the school administration department and the SDC for taking measures.

"I speak for the voiceless, for how long will our children have a profession of being abelusi benkomo sikhangele, I believe the government of Zimbabwe does not condone this act, the government says no child is suppose to be chased out of school, where are we bantwana bakwaXhosa," said Ginya.
