Teacher and pupils at Chipoka Primary School in Senior Chief Nsokolos area in Mbala in Northern Province are living in fear due to rampant witchcraft sexual abuse at night.
Zambia News and Information Services reports that Mbala District Commissioner (DC), Best Kabulembe has since appealed to the community at Chipoka to stop harassing the teachers and pupils through witchcraft.
Kabulembe said Chipoka primary school risks closure because teachers at the learning institution were insecure due to continued reports of abuse of girls and teachers at night through witchcraft.
The DC who was accompanied by the District Education Board Secretary, Alice Kamwi said this on Tuesday when he addressed members of the community at Chipoka following numerous complaints of wizards abusing girls and teachers by sleeping with them at night.
He threatened to close the school if teachers and pupils continues to live in fear because of witchcraft activities.
Kabulembe said this was the second time of such reports of teachers running ways from the school, the first being in 2006 when the school was almost closed after all the teachers deserted the institution over the same witchcraft harassment
The DC has since tasked the Parents Teachers Association (PTA) to sort the issues with the community for the benefit of their children who want to learn.
It seems that teachers at the Nashongo and Makaba primary schools in Siavonga, Zambia have threatened to abandon their posts after a rash of indecent incidents involving invisible witches.
According to Chief Sinadambwe of the Tonga-speaking people, the saucy sorcerers have been projecting their spirits into the teachers' bedrooms and molesting them. And they dont even have the decency to call in the morning. ...Chief Sinadambwe told the Zambia Daily Mail:
The male teachers complained that they have been having sex with women they cannot see. This has been happening to them for about three weeks.
...Chief Sinadambwe says that similar incidents have been happening to the women, one of whom claims that she went to sleep and when she woke up found herself naked with her nightgown on the floor. Her husband expressed ignorance and the only conclusion that could possibly be drawn was that she was the victim of some esoteric tomfoolery. But the Chief says not to panic hes urged everyone to stay calm and called on Government to help resolve the matter.
...Alas, it seems that randy psychic witches are still regarded as quite common in modern Zambia. Back in May, the Mbala District Commissioner also felt compelled to ask local wizards to stop molesting teachers and pupils at Chipoka Primary School the second of such incidents in nine years.
