TSHEBETSHEBE Primary School in Lupane district has reportedly been closed as teachers deserted the school after being tormented by goblins.
In an interview yesterday, a villager from the area who preferred anonymity said teachers disappeared from the school on Thursday.
The school has an enrolment of about 240 pupils while there are seven teachers including the head.
“There is chaos there. Goblins have been terrorising the teachers in the past weeks. The teachers could not bear it any longer and last week the whole staff left the school,” said the villager.

The villager said male teachers were not spared either.
