A Coghlan Primary School teacher was found hanging by her father in her bedroom in Bulawayo, the Chronicle reports. The Teacher Ms Sibhekinkosi Moyo from New Magwegwe had been well for some time and was on sick leave and on that particular day woke up and did her chores normally without showing signs of distress according to the publication.
Bulawayo Provincial Education Director Mrs Olicah Kaira confirmed the incident by saying:
We received two cases of suicide in the city in one week and I urge those suffering stress or depression to seek counselling.
Earlier this week, a form 2 student also from Bulawayo committed suicide after he allegedly was questioned about the money he had brought to school which some believed belonged to his aunt. Suicide cases have surged over the last few months in Zimbabwe.
