The teachers of Matabeleland South Province’s Kandana Primary School are afraid that a female goblin is haunting them. In June of last year, goblins started to terrorize the area when instructors started reporting weird things happening at night.
Teachers are nervous because there are stray kitchen items around and unsettling sounds of cooking. Some people claim to have seen visions of the goblin, and they describe it as feminine. Teachers claim feeling the entity in their houses; some have even reported feeling sat upon as they sleep.
Calls for transfers are prompted by persistent fears of sexual assault. Residents believe there is a link to earlier assaults on police officers at the adjacent Gwambe Clinic.The group is taking action, recruiting witch hunters and seeking diaspora financing for an exorcism.
Although he is awaiting more information, Councillor Ambassador Mabehdi Ngulani accepts the problem.
Dr. Tabitha Nyanzira, a specialist in folklore, claims that sightings of goblins are not unusual in Zimbabwean society. “Goblins are believed to be mischievous spirits, often seeking attention or revenge.” The Zimbabwean Ministry of Education has yet to comment on the subject. Similar incidents have resulted in schools having to temporarily close because of paranormal activity.
Psychologist, Dr. Rudo Mhlanga, warns of the psychological toll on teachers. “Prolonged fear can lead to anxiety, depression, and decreased productivity.” Teachers are watching the issue closely and trying to find a solution.
Zimbabwe has a long history of goblin sightings and reports. From 2000 to the present, the Zimbabwean Folklore and Cultural Studies Institute has recorded more than fifty occurrences. These interactions frequently feature enigmatic beings, strange noises, and Goblins may be drawn to locations of spiritual importance, according to experts.
The goblin’s appearance might be explained by the close proximity of Kandana Primary School to historic ritual locations. Similar events have been recorded by locals, which has increased anxiety. Mrs. Sibusisiwe Ncube, a community leader, advocates for group action.
“We must work together to protect our teachers and children from this evil entity.” To find a solution, the management of the school is collaborating closely with the local authorities. Concerned parents are thinking about taking their kids out of the picture.
The demands of teacher unions include more safety and assistance for educators. Teachers that are impacted might receive counseling assistance from the Zimbabwe Teachers Association (ZIMTA). One thing is certain while the investigation into the matter continues: the teachers at Kandana Primary School will not be facing this terror in silence.
