A quiet morning at Kwite Primary School in Mangwe turned into a scene of horror when a Grade 5 teacher, Shelton Kasere Lubimbi, 34, was found hanging in his quarters. The incident occurred on Thursday, July 3, during school break time, with his body discovered around 10AM by a colleague.

The only clue left behind was a piece of paper with contact numbers for relatives, leaving them to grapple with painful questions. The matter was reported to Mangwe Police Station, and Lubimbi’s body was taken to Plumtree Hospital mortuary for post-mortem.

Matabeleland South police spokesperson Inspector Chiratidzo Dube urged communities to take mental health seriously and engage in open conversations. “If someone shows suicidal tendencies, do not brush it off. Seek professional counselling and support,” she said, as investigations continue to uncover the circumstances surrounding Lubimbi’s tragic death.
