He was also accused of leaving for South Africa without authority.
He was later deported.
Madanhi was found guilty and discharged from service for the allegations that arose at Hwedza Centre.
Aggrieved by the dismissal, he appealed to the Labour Court seeking reinstatement.

Madanhi further argued that he did not improperly associate with the girl as alleged.
He submitted that he did not fail to control pupils while they were at Hwedza Centre.

Tendai Mugabe Senior Reporter

President Mugabe has since indicated that elections will be held this year, with or without a new Constitution.
Addressing journalists in Harare yesterday, PM Tsvangirai said: “If the draft Constitution is rejected, we will fall back to the Lancaster House Constitution.
“My attitude is that we have wasted too much effort and time in this process and hopefully, as I am told by the management committee, areas of conflict are minimal.
“I am told there is disagreement on the issue of dual citizenship and devolution and I hope a position will be found to accommodate them.”
