A teacher at Chinyunyu basic school in Rufunsa district has been arrested by police for administering a concoction of medicines on a pupil whom he allegedly impregnated in order for her to terminate the pregnancy.
Kennedy Moono, who allegedly impregnated a grade 10 pupil at the same school, is said to have forced her to drink a concoction in a bid to terminate the pregnancy when he discovered that he had impregnated the girl.
The expecting pupil was rushed to Chongwe district hospital where she is currently admitted and receiving medication.
Rufunsa District Commissioner Paul Kasongo confirmed the development in an interview with ZANIS in Lusaka yesterday.
Mr. Kasongo, who described the situation as unfortunate, said the teacher was currently in custody at Chinyunyu police.
He said it was sad that some teachers, who are trusted by the public, can engage into illicit activities with their pupils.
He said Moono’s behaviour was disturbing especially that he is a married man with two children.
Mr. Kasongo said such incidents present a bad image of the teaching profession and should not be condoned.
He regretted that the academic future of the girl, who has aborted, was now under threat because she was being sponsored by a nongovernmental organisation.
And Chongwe District Medical Officer Charles Msiska confirmed receiving the case at Chongwe district hospital.
Dr. Msiska said the girl was yesterday given Post Abortal Care (PACA) but was still under observation.
He added that the girl was currently on antibiotics and under comprehensive abortion care.
He has since condemned the abortion saying it was one of the major causes of maternal mortality in the country.
Dr. Msiska has meanwhile appealed to the public to seek medical advice before taking aborting so that qualified medical Doctors can approve or disapprove the intention.

‘he has eaten the girls english.’
alya umwana wabene icisungu.
Firstly how old is this Girl before we blame the teacher??? What did the Grade 10 pupil want from a teacher?? The girl is also a problem. Sad that he wanted her to abort, that’s the only case he has, “attempted Madder”. Otherwise, I am sure it was concessional love making. Girls in Zed can also be a problem. Busy with teachers. LT please let us know the ages of both, because maybe the teacher is also Young.
Why couldn’t he use a CONDOM??? Why are men generally such daft human beings?
Awe Teacher na Pupil…. Daddy na daughter
Bana ba skulu bakazi banyanya nyele. Bamafuna kushaina ngati baenda na teacher so that at the end the teacher can write her answers in an an exam. In most cases such pipo, you tend to question their qualifications after they are employed because they use their bottom power to get these qualifications. Its very common nowadays.
Lack of morals to some teachers even other elderly people (both men and women). How can you undress in front of a lad or toddler and you think that is right! Shame! There are alot of older people who are looking for what you did to the innocent child. In fact such thirst people are all over just walk around you will meet them at the same time ba teacher be ready even for the consequence.
sociologically children (boys & girls) mature rather early in the rural village setting. Sex is an object of pleasure in such places, your people chase it and look for it like any thing, i would wonder what the age of the young lady or girl as you would like to refer to her.
A grade ten pupil in chinyunyu will most like fall with the age group 16-20 years, this is a critical age for girl. it defines the charge “whether defilement or rape”.
If the girl is below the age of 16, the whole matter changes context, definitely defilement. minimum 25 years given circumstances.
If however she is above 25, consensual sex will be considered.
but ultimately he will definitely be fired, as noted by the Teaching service commission’s observations and warning recent during their most…
