Banket Primary School Teachers "Steal" Trip Funds

Parents and guardians of children enrolled at Banket Primary School are outraged after allegations surfaced that school authorities embezzled part of the funds raised for a school trip to Victoria Falls in October this year.

The issue came to light during a recent meeting between parents and school officials, where it was claimed that teachers involved in the trip had stolen US$3,080, affecting 14 students.

In a letter addressed to Andrew Matsikiti, the District Schools Inspector for Zvimba, on December 4, which was seen by NewsDay, parents accused four staff members of misappropriating the funds. Reads the letter:

Sometime in October 2024, the school advertised an annual educational tour of the Victoria Falls where willing and able parents or guardians were asked to pay US$220 on behalf of their learners in order to facilitate smooth travel, accommodation, meals as well as an array of activities that had been lined up for them to partake once they got there.

We are very sad to put it on record that we have some parents numbering about eight at the time of writing this report who paid money to four members of staff (names held) without receiving receipts as proof of payment.

We are also saddened to report that upon investigations we learnt that the school bursar took receipt of only 55/56 students for this trip leaving the remaining 14/15 students being present in the bus whom we believe had their money taken without it being receipted.

The parents further alleged that on the second day of the trip, learners were forced to eat rotten food. They said:

The learners had most of the lined-up activities cancelled for one reason or the other. We were also alerted to the effect that our children endured a nearly 600km distance without food on their return from Victoria Falls.

Those with pocket money were only allowed to buy in Gweru after seven-plus hours from the time they departed.

A classic example is when we took the bursar [to task] to explain why there was an accommodation receipt from Venus Hotel yet learners were booked at Budget Lodges.

There was no clear explanation except to say that it was what had been presented by the staff that went with learners.

The parents have urged the School Development Committee to thoroughly investigate the issue, demanding justice and transparency in the process.

School head Nelson Nzombe confirmed the allegations, adding that the matter was under investigation.

Matsikiti also said he was aware of the situation. He said a team had been dispatched to look into the matter.

It does happen since government failed to pay their bonus in full.To matters worse their meagre monthly falls short to expectations for a teacher who is supposed to earn bagfulls of money from their cruel employer whose only interest is to take 283 members of his family abroad on 5 day trip on a stipend of 1000 per person.

these activities are organised by teachers as money making schemes... imagine you are a teacher and yr child is going to college or university this coming January & you have chance to steal this trip money which isn't part of schools money.... you just take....

Teachers naturally are broke because their carrier does not teach them skills to make money it only teaches them not to make mistakes
