Female teachers admit being victims of blood sucking senior teacher

Female teachers at Neshaya Primary School in Hwange, Matabeleland North Province, are reportedly having sleepless nights following 'surprise visits' by one member of staff who "sucks their blood!"

Teachers gathered strength and spilt the beans after the mysterious fainting of 20 girls at the school. A reliable source from the school confirmed the incident.

"Female teachers have for some complained during the night that they see the vision of a senior member of staff clad in a black garment and holding a bottle of blood. Most of them said he will then go on to suck their blood and they fail to wake up at the time as they will be feeling too weak to do anything," said the source.

Female teachers are said to have kept the matter a secret as they were afraid of saying such a thing about the senior member of staff 'without proof'.

Two weeks ago, lessons were disturbed at the school as children did not go to school for two days following a series where 20 girls reportedly fainted.

"When the affected girls were asked what they had seen, they had the same story that they felt weak after seeing an apparition of the senior member of staff holding a bottle filled with blood," said the source.

Since pupils were afraid of going to school and their parents having heard of weird things happening at school, a meeting of villagers was called to find solutions.

"The village heads, villagers and members of staff had a meeting to find a solution to the school's problem as it was disturbing lessons. Traditional healers from the area were tasked with their ancestors and senior member of staff who had been mentioned by the teachers and pupils saying he was behind everything," added the source.

Though he denied the allegations, villagers reportedly petitioned the District Education Officer seeking dismissal of the senior member of staff. An official from the District Education Offices who spoke on condition of anonymity confirmed that they received the petition and after looking into the issue they wrote a letter to the Provincial Education Director recommending the transfer of the teacher in question.

Contacted for comment, Matabeleland North Provincial Education Director, Boithatelo Mguni, however said she  was yet to receive information pertaining to the intended transfer of the member of staff.

Villagers are reportedly organising a cleansing ceremony and the member of staff at the centre of controversy has been evicted from the school premises.
