- Standard one students allegedly raped in toilets
- Angry parents demand answers
- PTA chair says its not the first time
- School head mum on it
CONCERNED: Dihelang Bopadile
Shocked parents of standard one students at Sekgoma Memorial School in Maun have accused school authorities of a cover up over allegations of sex sessions in the school toilets.
Speaking to The Voice on condition they are not named in order to protect their children’s identity, some of the concerned parents said that their girls were allegedly coerced into engaging in sexual intercourse by standard one classmates during school hours.
Lashing out at how the school head, Wame Ramotswiri handled the allegations, the angry parents demanded to know why they were not told immediately when the problem surfaced.
The shocked parents were reacting to the school head’s decision to address only the parents of the accused boys, while sidelining the victimised girls’ parents.
“This is a clear sign that the school head wanted to keep this whole thing quiet. To sweep such a big problem under the carpet to protect the good name of the school at our children’s expense is definitely not right,” said an angry parent
PTA committee Chairperson, Dihelang Bopadile confirmed the allegations of sexual activities amongst standard one pupils, adding that it was not the first time such allegations had surfaced at the school.
“Last year we had a case whereby a standard one girl taught her classmates how to insert fingers in their private parts and such related sexual activities,” Bopadile said.
He further revealed that the girl was transferred to another school after her parents were summoned to explain her strange practices.
UNDER THE SPOTLIGHT: Pupils
Bopadile said that sexual abuse allegations have often surfaced and resurfaced at the school over the eight years he has been the PTA chairperson, but it was the first time that eight abused children have boldly spoken out about how they were coerced into having sex with their classmates in the school toilets.
“We also suspect that some children could have been exposed to pornography at their homes, but we will investigate further and even go to the extent of calling for God’s intervention to get to the bottom of the problem,” he said.
The school principal however refused to comment on the issue saying that there was nothing that she could share with The Voice before hanging up the phone while Acting Regional Director Mmemo’s phone rang unanswered.

the parents should approach the relevant Ministry
Childrens Organisations should be giving support to the Parents for an investigation
The head of the SChool should be seeing to be doing more

Parents emang ka dinao, these are the works of satanism. Satanists teach children against God’s morality, they teach kids godless activities. Parents nako e gorogile to open to your kids from an early age, teach them chastity, abstinence, teach them commandments of God. In fact the commandments should be our daily bread, seemo se re kabo re sa bolo go se hema.
Parents should have the right to know whether their children are safe or unsafe at institutions
I don’t know but in my view the Headteacher did well to call the parents of the abusers separately. These are kids and I want to believe that any parent of a kid of that age who has been abused will not understand.Therefore calling them all in one meeting can be counter productive and the meeting may became uncontrollable. I have two small girls of primary school age and I don’t think I could understand if something like that were to happen to them.
On the other hand, I don’t think that such kids are horny like @tshek suggest. This could be a sign that such kids are sexually abused either at home or in the community. It is a sign that there is bigger problems out there.How then can a standard one girl know how to figer herself? I think we have to protect and take care of our kids.
The parents have the right to panic it is their children who attend this school but one asks if they are being given reassurance that the matter is being investigated and systems will be put in place to ensure that this does not occurr again if it has occurred. Parents on the other hand need to teach their children how to handle such issues. It is about TRUST
“PTA committee Chairperson, Dihelang Bopadile confirmed the allegations of sexual activities amongst standard one pupils, adding that it was not the first time such allegations had surfaced at the school.”
It seems like this is not the first time these allegations are surfacing up if a system is not put in place it will occur a third time- The parents have the right to panic possibly that this is not the first time this is happenning
the results of moral education.mxm otlo go resenyetsa bana fa o bona ba setse ba itse manyobisto.lol
When you reassure someone you “end their doubts or fears” but you have to be honest
“We also suspect that some children could have been exposed to pornography at their homes,(????) my heart goes out to these children what sort of parent would allow this?? Only an irresponsible one
aish a weekend plus a hollyday chesanyama tswere bana ba ba pakileng eseng dishwapha ba kae di bloggers tsedi senang plan check me @sthek.com
The sad part is when one reads articles on child abuse, like this, they seem to just fizzle out no one ever hears how the problem was solved eg. that karate instructor that was accused of abusing a child the story just fizzled into thin air
The school head might have enjoyed the scenery so much that she never wanted any of the parents to know about it. Well, no matter how serious the issue could be, the parents of the victimized girls deserve to be told so they can prepare their children for psycho recovery as the issue of this magnitude could be forever engraved in the victim’s head for the rest of their life. “WAKE THE WITCH”!
dont be ignornt, bana ba jana mo go serius, dont blame no teacher, whip them kids or tel them to do it at their parents room, see if they’l stil complain
like father like son how many rouds does these boy go or is just like 2 minuts noddles.
