POLICE are interrogating Mbeya Day Secondary School staff after a video clip showing three teachers battering a form three student went viral on social media.
The three teachers, Frank Msigwa, John Deo of university of Dar es Salaam and Sanke Gwamaka of Nyerere Memorial, were on field training at the school. Reports from Mbeya said the police launched the investigation after seeing the video and a directive from Minister for Home Affairs, Mwigulu Nchemba.
It is alleged that Mr Msigwa gave the English class an assignment but some students did not do the work, including Sebastian Chinguku. The teacher, during class, slapped student Chinguku for failing doing his work.
Mr Chinguku asked the teacher why he slapped him. Mr Msigwa was annoyed by Mr Chinguku and he dragged him to staffroom, where he and other two teachers started the beating.
Another teacher, on field also, Ms Esther Harembo of Iringa University begged for the teachers to stop beating the student but her call was unheard.
The incident happened on September 28, and the student failed to attend school the next day to date. Mr Nchemba has directed the Dar es Salaam Police to arrest and interrogate the teachers over the beating incident.
The trio completed their field works and have reported back to their respective universities in Dar es Salaam.
