Three staff members and a pupil died at Glen View 1 High in a space of two weeks and the community suspecting that ‘evil spirits' were at play.

The three staff members are Muza Clever (bursar), Chenesai Magadzire (senior teacher) and Blessing Mahlungise (student teacher)

According to H-Metro, prayers have since been held at the school following the deaths although school authorities quickly dismissed that the prayers were not held as a cleansing ceremony but were rather just a scripture union session.

Harare Provincial Education director Christopher Chamunorwa confirmed the deaths of the three staffers saying that they had died due to different ailments arguing that there was no mystery.

"Yes I can confirm that a senior teacher died due to a heart problem, the bursar was involved in a car accident while the student teacher from Midlands State University died from suspected poisoning.

"No cleansing ceremony was ever held at the school but it was just the scripture union session. There is no mystery really in those deaths," said Chamunorwa.

According to some moles at the school, Mahlungise's relatives at his funeral wake revealed that the deceased had been jilted by his lover and could have committed suicide by taking some poison.

Another teacher who commented on condition of anonymity said they were still shocked with the deaths which had occurred within a short space of time.

"Probably it could have been God's timing for the four but it is a really difficult time for the school.

"We have since had pastors who came and prayed last week and."
