LESBIANISM IN HIGH PLACES

Anglican run St James Girls High School has been hit by a lesbian
"sex" scandal which has resulted in the expulsion of pupils, one of
them for offering a teacher sex in exchange for lenience after being
caught in the act.


The scandal reportedly started in June when two Form Six pupils were
caught by fellow pupils in the middle of the night having a nicetime
under the sheets, BMetro reported. A report was made to school
authorities.


After a probe, the two girls (names withheld) were suspended for two
weeks. According toa source, the pupils showed remorse during the
disciplinary hearing and promised to give up the lesbian antics. On
returning to school after serving the sentence, the two are said to
have kept a distance from each other.


"Everyone was convinced that they had indeed stopped their behaviour.
They even stopped talking to each other and we all thought that the
relationship was over. Little did we know that we were being fooled,"
said a source.
Sometime in October, while the rest of the pupils were preparing for
examinations, the two were making frantic efforts to resurrect their
relationship.

"At a time when we thought they were finished for good, they started.
They were spotted a number of times caressing each other in public and
during the nights one of them would sneak into the other's
dormitory.Other pupils tipped the matron and a trap was laid leading
to the two being caught having "lesbian sex," said the source.


After they were caught, one of the girls is reported to have offered a
senior male teacher sex in exchange for mercy. She had, however, gone
overboard as the teacher did not take kindly to that and took up. the
matter with the headmaster.


The gravity of the matter resulted in the headmaster Albert Ncube
reporting the girls' behaviour to the. Matabeleland North Provincial
Education Director's office who recommended that they be expelled.

"They were, however, not barred from writing examinations as they
wrote all the papers coming from home," said the source.
Acting Matabeleleland North Provincial Education Director Mr Mathias
Luphahla confirmed the incident saying: "We handled such a case and
the girls were expelled but I should hasten to emphasise that they
were allowed to write examinations," he said.
