The Zambia Police Service has arrested five teachers at Senanga Day Secondary School for allegedly assaulting a 15-year-old pupil.

The incident, reported on 19 March 2026, is said to have occurred on 16 March 2026 around midday. The report was made by Mr. Lungowe Mooka, 51, of Mwanambinyi East Plots in Chief Indopu’s area, on behalf of his son.

The teachers named in the case are Kaitwa Kamona, 51, Headteacher, Febian Mushoke, 49, Class Teacher, Mubiana Milale, 48, Class Teacher, Jere Simataa, 36, Class Teacher and Masialeti Kubindwa, 42, Class Teacher

The juvenile sustained injuries including a painful neck, rib pain, backache, and general body pains. The assault allegedly involved the use of fists and slaps.

Police investigations led to the arrest and formal charging of all five suspects for Assault on a Child, contrary to Section 248A of the Penal Code. They have since been released on police bond and are expected to appear in court soon.

Western Division Police Command Commissioner Rae Hamoonga strongly cautioned members of the public, especially those entrusted with the care of children, to uphold the rights and welfare of minors.

“Any form of violence against children is a serious offence and will be dealt with firmly in accordance with the law,” he said.
