Teacher in dock for rape

A 24-year-old teacher at John Shekudja Combined School in Okalongo, who was arrested earlier this week for allegedly raping a 15-year-old grade 10 learner, was denied bail in the Outapi Magistrate's Court on Wednesday.Masule Boshoff Masule from Kabbe in the Zambezi Region is accused of raping the teenager, who is from Oushipu village.The matter was remanded until 11 September. Police investigations continue. According to the Omusati police crime report the father of the victim opened the case.The father alleged that Masule, who is an entrepreneurship teacher at the school, raped his daughter on various occasions between June and 17 July. “It is alleged that the suspect, who is an entrepreneurship teacher, used to call the victim to his room at the teacher houses and forced her to have sexual intercourse with him,” the report reads.Namibian Sun has seen a copy of letter dated 24 July, written by the victim's father to the office of the Okalongo education directorate's circuit inspector, in which he states he was disappointed as a parent about what had allegedly happened. “As a parent, I am having nightmares and fail to understand the teacher, Masule. We trusted him to educate and take care of our children, let alone being a school board member, but instead he opted to destroy them mentally. How can he do that to my daughter?,” the letter reads.“I trust that your good and busy office will teach him a lesson that will serve as an example to whoever at John Shekudja Combined School is in the same boat with Mr Masule.” KENYA KAMBOWE
