Teacher rapes teen student

SAY No Global School teacher, John Nziradzaro, appeared in court yesterday facing allegations of raping a 13-year-old student.

Nziradzaro was not asked to plead when he appeared before magistrate Tranos Utshwashe.

He was advised to apply for bail at the High Court.

The court heard that sometime in September, Nziradzaro proposed love to the student, and she consented.

Later that month, he invited the minor to his house and allegedly raped her three times.

It is further alleged that on an unknown date, Nziradzaro invited the minor to school for extra lessons, and raped her afterwards, in a private room.

Shepherd Makonde appeared for the State.
