A Jengamvura Secondary School teacher in Chiweshe has been jailed for 20 years after sexually abusing a Form Two pupil he lured to his house.


Itai Baradza was sentenced by Bindura magistrate Sheilla Nazombe after being convicted of sexually abusing the minor. The court heard that on 29 June, Baradza lured the pupil to his home, exposed him to pornographic material and then sexually abused him.

The matter was reported, leading to Baradza’s arrest and prosecution. Edward Katsvairo prosecuted.

The sentence underscores the seriousness with which courts treat sexual offences involving minors, particularly where the offender is in a position of trust or authority.

The identity of the minor has been withheld to protect him.

This case adds to ongoing national discussions around child protection and school‑based sexual offences.
