Some 40 form four students at Gutu High School in Gutu had a chilling experience when they last week on Saturday watched their Religious Studies teacher, Blessmore Ngwarai drown in the school dam.
Ngwarai’s body was eventually retrieved by a villager on Tuesday evening after spending four days in the dam. Police had difficulties in retrieving the body.
Police has confirmed the incident.
The body left Gutu Mission Hospital mortuary for burial in Chief Munyikwa’s area in Gutu on Tuesday evening.
What started off as a walk to refresh by the exam class turned into a tragedy when the students reached the school dam and the group changed their plans to swimming.
A source said some pupils swam first and when Ngwarai tried to join in, he just walked a few steps into the dam and started complaining that he was being dragged into the water. Students rushed to hold his hand but the pull force was too much for them and they eventually had to let go.
Ngwarai’s parents who were alerted to the mishap came and did rituals at the dam, hoping that their son would come back alive. It is understood that two other family members drowned before and one came back alive while the other died.
Another teacher, Jack Murima (25) was in the group of students.
James Maguku (15) is one of the pupils who tried to rescue the teacher.
