oblems started on Wednesday last week at Hlangabeza High School when elements of the CIO, working with the police and ZANU PF activist threatened to arrest officials from the donor community who had funded the community project. The project included the building of a reservoir tank and the construction of the girls hostels for the school. Formal notifications to both the school authorities and council had been made beforehand and parents and children who had been invited for the occasion had turned up in full force for the occasion. The situation soon changed when the Hon MP and his entourage arrived to grace the occasion. The Headmaster of the school, disclosed that he had been threatened over the project by some overzealous ZANU PF persons and that he feared for his life.
On Friday 14 Hon Bhebhe hosted officials from another donor community who had funded some development projects at two more schools in the constituency. The Honourable MP had sourced funding for the renovations and construction of classroom blocks at Gababi and Sembeule primary schools and had come to officially hand over the projects. On arrival at Gababi school, the Hon MP and the officials found that teachers and school officials had been taken to some kangaroo court for questioning by state agents over the occasion. This was in-spite of the fact that the Minister of Education Sports and Culture, Eneas Chigwedere and the ministry officials had been notified by the Hon MP about the occasion. Parents and children who had gathered at the school to witness the official hand over soon dispersed.
