supporting opposition party, MDC-T. Karima and Chadzimba are committee members in the
School Development Committee (SDC). On the day in question, Karima and Chadzimba told
Maravanyika to consider lowering school fees from $40 to $25. Maravanyika then advised
the committee that he will write to the Ministry of
Primary and Secondary education
advising them of the meeting resolutions. It is at this point that Karima and Chadzimba
started shouting at Maravanyika accusing him of being an MDC-T member. The two advised
Maravanyika that they were going to advise the ZANU PF leadership in Mt Darwin to
remove Maravanyika from Sosera Secondary school. The headmaster has since been
transferred to another school.
