CONTROVERSIAL: Simon Patrick Moroka
Teacher’ sex scandal lands ex-student in jail
An affair with a 14-year-old student eight years ago has become a nightmare for a Maun teacher and the girl. Expressing relief at DNA test negative results, Matola primary school teacher, Simon Patrick Moroka, recently discovered through a paternity test result that an eight- year old ‘son’ he supported financially was not his.
He has demanded a P 15,030.00 refund in court. Meanwhile, his former student, now 22, is adamant that the teacher is the father as she was a virgin when the sex scandal happened. The mother who was a minor during the sex escapades is languishing in a Maun jail as she has failed to raise the money.
“ I had sex with that girl only once. They might claim that her child looks like me, but that does not matter anymore because the DNA test has proved beyond doubt that he is not my child,” he said.
When the mother and her family reported Moroka to the Maun District Commissioner for monthly maintenance, they had no clue how bad the plan would backfire, eight years later.
When she failed to cough up the maintenance amount, which the court had ordered her to return to the owner, she was sent to jail to ponder on the consequences of her actions.
Speaking from Maun state prison where she languished while her poor family struggled to raise the required amount, the confused young woman said she did not understand how the DNA test could be negative when at the time, she had slept with no other man but Moroka.
“How can the child not be his when he is the man who broke my virginity when I was a 14-year- old- girl. I never slept with another man until after the baby was born. How could he possibly not be his? She asked.
The paternity saga, which has caused the Maun Catholic Church to join the fray, advocating for a second DNA test to vindicate the young church member, allegedly started with illicit student-teacher sexual relations, when the girl was still in Moroka’s class in 2003.
According to her, she and Moroka started having sex when she was in standard seven. “He was my class teacher and I didn’t mind having an affair with him because he was very gentle and loving, helping my poor family with money, clothes and food.”
She claimed that the secret affair, continued until she fell pregnant and dropped out of school.
Supporting her daughter’s claims, 53-year- old Aobakwe Gabaitsekgosi who learned the hard way never again to shield a child molester from prosecution said that she regretted the day she chose financial aid over reporting the teacher to the police for defilement, a criminal offence that carries a minimum sentence of 10 years and maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
“Moroka’s late wife brought it to the family’s attention that my daughter was sleeping with her husband, the teacher. She said she caught them red-handed in bed and begged us to warn the child to desist from breaking her family, which we tried without success.”
Gabaitsekgosi further revealed that when her daughter eventually fell pregnant, Moroka was called to a family gathering where he admitted that he had impregnated the girl.
“We were therefore shocked when he told us early this year that his doctor had advised him to stop paying maintenance until a paternity test was done. Needless to say we are all suspicious that something must have gone terribly wrong somewhere with the test results.”
Asked whether he was willing to go for a second DNA-test, Moroka said, “ She must refund me first, then we can talk.
“ At school students call me Tinto (a character who fails to look after his own children in a folklore song) because of the way she used to harass me for money in front of them. I also lost a promotion opportunity because of her lies. I am an heir apparent for Moroka village and now that she has run to the media to defame me some more, I might lose the chance to become chief too. She must just leave me alone.”

Hard to believe the teachers’ claims. The DNA test is very reliable yes, but like any other scientific procedure, the results depend on the inputs and their interpretation.
In this case I’d advocate for a second test, under the “watchful eye” of representatives from both parties.4 subjects are involved here: the father, child, mother and the scientist.If the wrong hair or blood specimen (etc) is used as the input there would, of course, be no parental match. Also, if the scientist wrongly interprets the DNA results or get bribed then there’d be no parental match.Sending a poor mother to the “Gaol” to protect somebody’s ego is not a laughing matter. The man was rescued from a defilement casualty, and now he “somesaults” to bite the finger that fed him. What kind of an aspiring chief (+ teacher) demands P10 000 from an unemployed poor mother anywhere? The bottom line is that he escaped a criminal record and must be thankful. full stop!Ga ke rate matlhajana waitse.
Sex with a 14 year old student legone o mo ruta? Tota o rraagwe mang? you are a disgrace to all men
Monna yo gaana boikarabelo, o ka robala ngwana yoo 14.ke tshaba tshotlego, motsadi o kgona go rekisa ngwana wa gagwe ka dijo le gone a bo a tla go bua mo the voice asa tlhabiwe ke ditlhong

monna yo ga a na pelo …
Why after 8 years ngwaga tse tsothe o ntse a nnetseng.men men men have mercy
First of all Teaching is a NOBLE profession. Down here teachers have become the predators. V.Few teachers are exposed. Eg. This one is exposed not because he had SEX with a 14 year old in his class, but he is exposed because he proved that the kid born to the girl after his sex scandal is not his after a DNA test after 8 years.~ Kudos to you Simon you proved it.
On an average most of the school girls here are subjected to sexual advances by their male teachers on a daily basis. Very few get caught and most of them end up sleeping with at least 3 by the end of the term. Now multiply how many he could have slept along with as a teacher for say 8 years. Wow.
In those days we looked up at Teachers with great respect. We send our little kids at school trusting they are at their second home~ “the school” and we as parents are at peace of mind that our kids are at school.
It is high time a en query commission is set up in Botswana and may be every 6 months to visit all the schools and collect information from “sources” about these SEX MONGERS hidden in the guise of teachers……..Most of them came into the profession, not because they like the profession valuing its ethics and Morals. It looks like Most of them came into the profession because it was very easy to seduce Ma14′s.
There were days when you meet teachers after years and YOU feel proud to tell him Sir I got a scholarship for higher studies for doing medicine and I am back on holidays and the Teacher beams at you with PRIDE.
These days the young gal hides when she sees the teacher and says ” OH F*** he wanted me when he was teaching me”.
STOP INSULTING THE PROFESSION
a very controversial story indeed i ll admit um vry lost hr ae!!!!
Matichara the le dintsa. ntshang ditedu mo baneng
bana ba dikole tswayang mo mathichareng, le bolawa ke go ba bitsa CCC. sengwe le sengwe se na le maduo a sone
Yoo lo neng a go bona o ipatikelela mo ngwaneng monna? Ngwana yo wa gago le o ka reng
kare ba e ja nywana barutabana. they even teach them sex.
shame on this man is really out of hand, the dna must repeat with both of concerned parties involved eseng ngaka ya monna yoo fela and the state councel must be indulged, if proven wrong both the doc and the man must be imprisoned a be a tseelwa setlankana
no offence 2 th voice,i knw thy r doin their job as a tabloid newspapr.i thnk thz iz tu much,th frnt page almost seems to glorify wat ths teacher has done.th thy dd nt report ths story in th utmost sensetivity it required.THz paedophile needs 2 b castrated,hw h agree to such a story as if th party involvd iz th wife or mistress.shame th voice u hve lost ur moral compass.
there are two issues here! sexual intercourse with a minor and taking care of a child who is not yours.
Kana, Simon ga a ganele gore o jele, therefore the law should take its course a tsene mo chankaneng. e bile ga ke bone kgang ya gagwe e ka nna thata ka ga a ganele. O ka se jele court nako.
Mo kgang ya support, Simon o tshwanetse a ne a e dumetse fela go baya kgang letlhaku, in order to avoid it going out in the open. Jaanong kana batho ba buwa, mongwe o ne a mo sebetse gore o supporta ngwana o e seng wa gagwe, thats why he went for the DNA which i doubt it has not been tampered with. If indeed, the child is not his, he has all the right to compensation., although in my opinion is not morally right.
waitse rre ke sepeko tota sese sa batleng mental coz o ka tswa discharge. that gal was an under age and its an offense. he might be right gore o batla madi a gagwe but hela ha ba sena go mo aneela a a bo a sekela molato wa go ratana le ngwana yo monnye (defilement) and ba mo gamole coz goraya gore leene o jele boloto thats why he agreed to pay maintenance for the kid! monna yoo is more than a dog and ga ana ditlhong o bua ka proffession and all but o lebala the future that he has spoiled for this kid, nxa, he has to go to jail also botlhe atleast kgang e tsene ba le koo.
O odia ma**pa. Elastic rubber-ring castrator e motlhofo go dirisiwa. o e ngamola abo o etlogela mo sentloboding. this is really uncalled for.
This guy o serious o batla go nna kgosi, morafe ga wa bolaya. You a re a disgrace to lesika la Adam.
I wanted to find land in Moroka village,not anymore.
Hey, this is crazy. What if the second DNA test become positive. Gues he will hang himself
I think every guy should ask for a DNA test,whats wrong with that?le ta sapota bana ba eseng ba lona gore lere tshutshu!!
Moroka, Rocks as we used to call him is not a womanizer. He loves beer. We used to teach together in a remote area somewhere and we would drink every weekend. He never even had a girl then. He would drink until he is out cold.He never used to run out of money and he only took teaching so he can pass time while waiting to be chief for Moroka village as he says. These people are lying. The girl was probably impregnated by one of her cousins or a secret teenage boyfriend who is currently hiding. They just want to fleeze Rocks of all his money and then get married while he goes away poor. The mother is shameless. May that woman rot in jail. Who cares about her virginity! These girls go around boasting about their vaginas as if they manufacture them at home. Someone else put that child in there. Not Moroka. Start looking for another milk cow.Tramp!!!
