A teacher named Oscar Ndlovu from Hwange is in big trouble after he allegedly bit 23 students at Neluswi Primary School in Jambezi.
The 49-year-old Grade Seven teacher might be arr3sted for using biting as punishment when his students could not explain a vocabulary word.
The situation came to light when a 12-year-old girl told the police that her teacher had bitten her.
Inspector Glory Banda, a police spokesperson, confirmed that they are investigating the case. She said, “On October 23, 2024, a student reported that her teacher had bitten her.”

According to the police report, on October 3, during a lesson, Ndlovu asked the students to define the word “dynamic.” When they couldn’t answer, he got angry and bit the girl on her shoulder. He then reportedly bit all 23 students in the class.
The police have gone to the school to find other students who were bitten and take their statements.
The girl who complained has gone to Victoria Falls Hospital for a medical check-up.
This shocking event has upset the local community, with many people wondering why the teacher acted this way.
Some believe he may be having a mental health issue, while others worry about the possibility of “demonic possession” or “Satanism.”
