A Zimbabwean teacher, identified as Alec Masomera aged 56, is in police custody after he was caught raping his pupil during extra lessons.

It is alleged that the teacher started proposing the pupil a long time ago but she was refusing.

On the fateful day, the girl went back home after extra lessons but her grandmother sent her back saying her teacher should help him home work.

When she went back, the teacher went into his bedroom and summoned the gilr to go in.

In the bedroom, he undressed and raped her.

Masomera will be appearing before court soon for trial commencement.
