The Bulawayo High Court has ordered the Roman Catholic Church-run Embakwe High School to re-admit an Ordinary-Level pupil who was expelled from the school for praying in an “unacceptable” Pentecostal way.
The schoolboy was expelled after he was found praying with 17 other pupils at the school grounds in a manner deemed unacceptable and contrary to the Catholic way of worship. The schoolboys were allegedly speaking in tongues.
Justice Kamocha ordered the school to immediately re-admit Promise into the school with full benefits of boarding and library facilities. The judge also barred the school authorities from interfering with Promise’s school and examination attendance.
