The headmaster of the school built and reportedly ‘owned’ by flamboyant businessman Phillip Chiyangwa has spoken for the first time and in an attempt to dismiss reports by the faceless social-network cult guru Baba Jukwa that teachers have not been paid for five months to date.
The headmaster may have demonstrated that Baba Jukwa last week played the crucial role of forcing the school to pay the teachers.
The school head Mr Christopher Tapera told ZimEye in an exclusive interview the reports of his school delaying the salaries of teachers for five months are not true. Although he invited our reporter to the school offices to see documentation, he admitted that there have indeed been delays in paying teachers’ salaries but said that these were for the month of August which have only been paid today as per his words. The timing of the payment may show that Baba Jukwa’s pressure on the matter forced Chiyangwa’s management to release the needed funds.
“Going by what was written in the ZimEye Saturday, Sunday it is incorrect. Teachers were paid up to end of July and as I speak to you right now we have already paid them their August salaries. So we don’t owe teachers at all it is unfortunate that when this article was published we were not accorded an opportunity to air our side of the story,” he said.
On the matter of overcharging parents, Mr Tapera said that his school’s fees are slightly over USD1300, and so are actually lower than many other schools which charge at least USD2800 per term.
He further dismissed reports of Mr Phillip Chiyangwa being in control of the school saying that the school is managed by a directors’ or trustees’ board. When asked further about the board membership, he however admitted that the board is actually headed by a certain Mr Edmund Chiyangwa, and the board of trustees has two Chiyangwa’s at the helm.
Watch this space for the full interview which will be published by Midnight Tuesday.
