In the Toronto area of Penhalonga, located on the outskirts of Mutare, a devastating accident unfolded on Tuesday afternoon.
A speeding vehicle, allegedly driven by an intoxicated driver, struck three learners. Tragically, among the victims were the only two children of a local couple.
The incident occurred around 3 PM on Tuesday, March 12, at the 2-kilometer mark along Christmas Pass-Shamu Road.
The siblings, Silvian and Strive Maponde, and another learner, died on the spot.
The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) confirmed the accident. Additionally, a fourth victim sustained injuries and was admitted to Victoria Chitepo Provincial Hospital. Fortunately, he was discharged the following day.
In a statement, ZRP national spokesperson, Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi identified the deceased as Blessing Chasarira (nine), Silvian Maponde (13) and Strive Maponde (nine), all of Chirochangu Plot, Toronto. He said:
<blockquote>
The Zimbabwe Republic Police confirms a road traffic accident in which three learners were killed, while another learner was injured when a Toyota Fortuner vehicle veered off the road to the left and knocked down the learners who were crossing the road at the 2km peg along Christmas Pass-Shamu Road on March 12, 2023, at around 3 PM.
The victims were identified by their next of kin as Blessing Chasarira, Silvian Maponde and Strive Maponde. The bodies of the victims were taken to Victoria Chitepo Provincial Hospital for post-mortem, while the injured learner was admitted at the same hospital.
</blockquote>
Acting spokesperson for the ZRP in Manicaland Province, Assistant Inspector Wiseman Chinyoka said the driver of the vehicle, John Dumbura, was being charged with culpable homicide.
Silvian Maponde was in Grade Six at Little St Augustine’s Primary School, while his sibling, Strive was in Grade Two at the same school. Chisarira was in Grade Two at Beaule Primary School.
According to witnesses who spoke to <a href="https://www.manicapost.co.zw/couple-loses-all-children-in-accident/">The Manica Post</a>, the driver of the vehicle was allegedly under the influence of alcohol and driving at high speed.
It is believed that Dumbura lost control of the speeding vehicle, leading to the tragic outcome.
Gift Maponde, a resident, faced unimaginable grief as his only two children had just disembarked from a kombi and were only a few meters away from their home. He said:
<blockquote>
My children, Silvian and Strive were hit by the car and died on the spot. They are gone. They had just disembarked from a kombi on their way home.
Even though I arrived a few moments after the accident, I saw the driver; he was visibly drunk. It happened around 3 pm since I had come from where I am employed as a security guard.
This is so devastating. I cannot believe that I no longer have any children. They were all taken in the blink of an eye.
This is so difficult to comprehend and adapt to. I am in extreme pain, and whoever did this must pay for his sins.
</blockquote>
Primrose Masiiyiwa, who said she witnessed the accident unfolding, said:
<blockquote>
I was coming from fetching water and saw these kids checking both sides of the road before crossing.
Everything happened so fast and the next thing I heard was a loud crashing sound. When I rushed to check what had happened.
I realised that the kids had been knocked down by the car and were lying in a bush by the roadside.
</blockquote>
Asst Comm Nyathi urged motorists to be alert and observe stipulated speed limits to safeguard lives and to abide by the road rules and regulations to curb road accidents.

Speeding Toyota Fortuner Ploughs Into Schoolchildren; 3 Killed, 1 Injured

St Albert’s Secondary School in Centenary, Mashonaland Central Province, recently suspended 304 pupils for taking part in “an illegal strike”.
The learners were suspended after walking 52km to Mt Darwin demonstrating against the expulsion of 23 others.
However, by Tuesday, some of the learners had returned to the school.
<a href="https://www.herald.co.zw/school-suspends-304-pupils-over-demos/">The Herald</a> reported sources as saying the 23 pupils had been expelled without the approval of the regional education office, as required by the law.
The learners had paid money for a disco to play in advance, but it got to the school when it was time for them to retire to bed.
After they became violent, the school headmistress allowed the disco to play into the early hours of Sunday, 18 September.
School-leavers and other outsiders who had been allowed to attend the disco were allegedly partly to blame for the damage which left some windows shattered.
Most of the suspended pupils are in Forms Two and Three with a few in Form One.
The learners who walked to Mt Darwin were also demanding that the school provide more textbooks for A-level Geography and Divinity pupils.
They were also protesting against alleged victimisation by some teachers who borrowed money from pupils and the quality and quantity of food the school was providing.
St Albert’s, which offers both day and boarding facilities, has a total of 625 pupils.
The other complaint raised by the learners was that a high number of teachers were allegedly going out with female pupils.
Following the protests, the headmistress of the school, Sister Romano Donato, sent circulars to the parents of the affected pupils.
She instructed the learners to write a report to the school indicating the reasons for taking part in an “illegal strike”.
The Herald reported that efforts to get comments from the regional office and the Ministry of Education and Culture were fruitless.

School Suspends 304 Learners Over "Illegal Strike"

The Zimbabwe Teachers’ Association (ZIMTA) says the ongoing profiling of learners by the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education is in line with the recommendations made by the Nziramasanga Commission report.
The <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Nziramasanga_Commision_of_Inquiry">Nziramasanga Commision of Inquiry</a> was commissioned by the late former President Robert Mugabe in 1998 to review the then and future needs of the education system in Zimbabwe.
The Ministry of Education said that the profiling of pupils will enable their grooming and the nurturing of their skills progressively.
Under the programme, “Learning Support Services Client Profile Database”, profiles will be created for every learner.
ZIMTA chief executive officer Sifiso Ndlovu told <a href="https://www.chronicle.co.zw/education-ministry-profiles-learners/">the Chronicle</a> that profiling of learners should go hand in hand with CALA. He said:
<blockquote>
This should go hand in hand with the Continuous Assessment programme that the Ministry is implementing.
It should be able to assess the aptitudes of learners as they progress with their education to say a child is exhibiting traits of an electrical engineer and the child should be assisted in that development.
It is in line with the recommendations that were made by the Nziramasanga Report that the education path of children should be assessed progressively.
</blockquote>
Ndlovu, however, said the profiling of pupils is being done prematurely as some schools especially in rural communities do not have computers to update learners’ profiles.
He also noted that there is a shortage of teachers in some schools which may affect the full implementation of the project. Ndlovu said:
<blockquote>
We hope this programme will not come at the expense of the teacher, reducing their ability to concentrate on teaching learners. This will work in schools where the teacher-student ratio could be one is to 25.
But in areas where the teacher is attending to up to 50 learners, it will be difficult to implement as teachers will be overwhelmed.
</blockquote>
According to <a href="https://octopusbi.com/three-ways-learner-profiles-help-predict-student-growth/">Octopus,</a> learner profiles help predict student growth in three ways:
<ul>
<li>Learner profiles create a continuous chart of student variables and goals</li>
<li>Learner profiles inform decision-making about the student’s needs</li>
<li>Learner profiles engage students and parents in ownership &amp; active learning</li>
</ul>

Learner Profiling Should Be Linked With CALA - ZIMTA

The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education has introduced a programme to profile learners to enable their grooming and the nurturing of their skills progressively.
Under the programme, “Learning Support Services Client Profile Database”, profiles will be created for every learner.
A school in Bulawayo sent a letter to parents and guardians inviting them to participate in the exercise. The letter, which was seen by the <a href="https://www.chronicle.co.zw/education-ministry-profiles-learners/">Chronicle</a>, reads in part:
<blockquote>
The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education (MOPSE) is rolling out a programme to screen and profile learners in schools.
In this regard, the Learning Support Services is developing a system to enable schools to create profiles for individual learners.
A set of screening and profiling tools has therefore been introduced for use in schools. You are invited to the school for the data collection on your child.
It is an assessment of developmental domains of functioning in young children.
It is for individual child and parent benefit through child-centered approaches, referrals and monitoring.
… Let us avoid sending just anyone from the family e.g. driver, house helper, or a distant relative as this may lead to the collection of inaccurate data.
The collected information of individual learners will be fed to the Education Management Information System database and will be updated throughout their infant, junior and Secondary education years hence the need to supply accurate data.
</blockquote>
Primary and Secondary Education Ministry communications and advocacy director Taungana Ndoro said:
<blockquote>
This is going to assist in the management of the child so that when a certain talent is identified in the learner, we develop that talent from an early age.
We want to groom and nurture the skills that they have from the primary and secondary levels.
There is a lot of information that we need from the parents and guardians and we will even need information like the number of siblings and a lot of other things.
So, it’s a huge tool. We will collect data until the data of the last pupil in our school has been collected.
</blockquote>
Ndoro urged parents and guardians to cooperate with education officials during the exercise.

Ministry Of Education Profiles Learners

Learners at Mwenje Primary School in Makoni District recently foiled a demonstration by their parents against their headmistress at the school.
<a href="https://www.manicapost.co.zw/learners-turn-against-parents-in-defense-of-head/">The Manica Post</a> reported that the learners chased away their placard-waving parents and members of the community who wanted to stage a demonstration to push the headmistress, Zvichaguma Murahwa, to be transferred from the school.
The demonstrators, who were led by the School Development Committee (SDC) chairman, Tendai Nyasa, failed to access the satellite school’s premises as the learners attacked them.
Murahwa told The Manica Post that some members of the community say she has overstayed at the school therefore she should be transferred. She said:
<blockquote>
Some members of the community are saying I have overstayed at the school and I should leave just like other teachers who have left.
They are also claiming that I am behind the transfer of a teacher after some issues were raised against that teacher who opted to leave.
The SDC chairperson led the demonstration, waving placards. However, I am safe because they (demonstrators) were chased away by the learners.
Their issue is not emanating from the school but from other disputes in the community.
</blockquote>
Nyasa said there is a high turnover of teachers at the school which he blamed on the school head.
He also said there is a boundary dispute between the head’s parents and the community. Said Nyasa:
<blockquote>
There is a high turnover of teachers at the school because the head is frustrating teachers.
There are some misunderstandings over how school projects should be handled.
She constructed her personal house on a piece of land that we believe belongs to the school. The demarcations are not clear.
We are in the dark about a number of issues happening at the school. Parents went to the school on Monday to demonstrate, but learners attacked and insulted some parents, questioning what they want to do with their headmistress.
I think it is the head who incited them to revolt against us. She also has some parents who support her and they want the current SDC removed.
</blockquote>
There is a boundary dispute between the head’s parents and the community but we are not mixing issues.
Makoni District Schools Inspector, George Chidhakwa said that an audit team was sent to the school and came up with recommendations which he said will be implemented.

Learners Chase Parents Away From School In Defence Of Headmistress

Police have arrested three learners from Mathula High School in Tsholotsho District after they were filmed assaulting a female learner.
The suspects aged 16 and 17, reportedly assaulted the victim after she had turned down a love proposal from one of the learners.
ZRP national spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed the development to CITE’s <a href="https://cite.org.zw/three-tsholotsho-learners-arrested-after-video-of-brutal-beating-goes-viral/">Senzeni Ncube</a>. He said:
<blockquote>
That case has been received by the police and we have located the complainant and the witnesses. We have arrested three suspects so far.
One suspect is aged 17 and the other two suspects are aged 16.
</blockquote>
It is alleged that after his love proposal was turned down, the 17-year-old suspect and his colleagues waylaid the complainant on her way home and then assaulted her.
One of the learners recorded the incident which showed one of the suspects brandishing a machete, which police consider a dangerous weapon and should not be carried in public. Added Asst Comm Nyathi:
<blockquote>
I confirm the police have taken action and we want to warn students against this behavior, against engaging in acts of bullying, against engaging in acts of criminality whilst at school and also urge parents to ensure that children behave well and they grow up being responsible citizens.
