A Siavonga secondary school teacher has been arrested for allegedly assaulting a pupil over a girl. Police in Siavonga on Tuesday morning arrested the teacher for allegedly assaulting Cheelo Choolwe, a grade twelve pupil at Siavonga Secondary School.
Choolwe said his teacher assaulted him last week on Tuesday around 21:00 hours at the roadside near Lake Kariba Inn. “The whole issue is about my girlfriend, who is also a pupil at the same school. He met my girl at school one day and told her that she should stop seeing me and ordered her to start dating him. My girl refused his order, saying she didn’t want him since she had me already.
So since that time, I became an enemy to my teacher. Now last week on Tuesday night, I was with my friends near Lake Kariba Inn when he and his fellow teachers in a vehicle saw us. He stopped his vehicle and came walking towards where I was standing. He grabbed me and without any reason, he threw blows on my face and slapped me while his friends were just watching.
Thank God my two fellow pupils I was with rescued me but I sustained minor injuries on my face,” he narrated. Choolwe said his teacher also searched his trouser pockets and went away with a wallet containing K800, a voters’ card and a national registration card in it shortly after he was beaten. “Up to now I have not been given back my wallet,” said Choolwe.
The suspect has since been released on police bond. Efforts to get a comment from Siavonga police proved futile by press time.
The girl issue may not be true. i see a teacher trying to discipline a pupil in a wrong place at a wrong time using outdated methods. sadly that’s the type of teachers fund in schools now and we wonder why standards are poor in schools.and what was that pupil doing with so much cash at that time.
Concetrate on your studies not tu magelo,Naba teacher teti mufyaeko size yenu.expel the student and fire the teacher.
LAST DAYS SUGO NA K800.00 MU POCKET? KIKIKIKIKI, LETS NOT ABUSE TOO MUCH THAT TEACHER EVEN IF HE WAS WRONG BY BEATING YOU
@ ndelolesha fye I agree with you.
These chaps even get far much better grades than we were scoring in the 90’s.Now ask them basics believe me what the response you will get deserves much to be desired.
Ba kafundisha why?
This pupil is just a lier, he has just exajarrated the whole fracas, this boy should just concentrate on studies and pass not girls. He is looking for sympathy.
It’s so tormentous to be a civil servant under PFool, most will need anger management lessons, to deal with delayed salaries and high cost of living, especially with the sky rocketing kwacha, while salaries remain static.
He doesn’t sound like a pupil @”my girl”. Lol. Now where did he get the money from let system investigate that because it could be just a way of Robbing the teacher. And also let the teacher be punished accordingly.
The teacher should just concentrate on teaching not galavanting
He lied about having K800 in his wallet ,the whole story is cooked up. Grade twelve ati ‘my girl’ inside of preparing for exams.
Sugo temunobe. I remember one boy in grade 9 2009 was caught with a foreign material containing leakages. When the exam monitors arrived at the school, the boy told the monitors that, “Aba beene ba sir ebacimpeela balefwaya ukuntamfisha isukulu becoz tulafwaya gelo umo wine” A pupil with a lot of human rights can do anything.
The chap had hidden some details, even if he wanted the girl a teacher cant just leave the car walk to the boys and beat the hell out of him in silence. The question is what did the student say to the teacher? a hand gesture even a middle finger as the teacher passed by in car? What did the student tell the teacher within the school premises that made the teacher infuriated and decided to teach him a lesson anywhere any time? This boy from my point of view has alot to answer, than the teacher actually.
precisely there is more to it than reported. A teacher cannot sink that low, the boy is a culprit.
Grade 12 na ZMK800.00 mu wallet? uyu umwaiche alishiba ukupanga money.
The little girl’s issue is minor one, the teacher is just frustrated with pf’s notorious behavior of delaying civil servants salaries, am sure after visiting the atm machine and found no salary, he wanted something to pour his anger on, hope next time pf improves on paying civil servants on time, especially after the playing and fantasizing day on 18th of October.
@Hallo Hater mupepi nokupena
@dodoma weshilu niwe!
Let the boy just understand, pf delayed in paying salaries, The ka K800 will reimbursed , the teacher needed it most at that time not him.
IT CAN HAPEN UNDER PF…………MAMAMAMAMAMAMAMAMAM
What tribe are these peopple
Let me even take a ka little siesta, some hot coffee, you know us desert warriors, always looking for something hot to keep cool.
hello hatters, you are a big fool icho mwabelo ifiko, there is no politics here you thing, comment according to the topic, fool
School boy was beaten coz girl gives him live but for teacher girl asks for a condom,,,that’s the issue here.
That’s a cheap excuse used by stupid boys to embarrass their teachers. Wat was he doing at such a place? K800 in wallet? He was consuming alcohol. Yes our children should enjoy life but not to such extremes.
Punish teacher for assault and sit down the boy. He is young and deserves a second chance.

The idiot had no K800 sad the teacher wz caught in this mess.
Sad story indeed. Comrade NEZ should hear this.
The story doesn’t make sense. This pupil is a cheat and a thief. Leave the teacher alone.
am a former pupil ot siavonga i think teachers that side are stupid like the deadly lion.
i think teachers should learn how to be proud of there wives they have. its sad to see the father in law fighting a pupil for what government should punish the bagger
am a former pupil ot that school. its sad stop it
