The recent commotion caused by an empty coffin discovered at Girls High School in Harare, has been resolved, for now.
When it was discovered, there were speculations around the coffin's origins, with some saying the area was cordoned off, and off-limits, further igniting speculations of satanic rituals, and that it contained a body.
After the discovery, speculations, a wider media coverage, and various theories, concerned parents suspected ritual activities and demanded a thorough investigation to be conducted.
However, a former teacher from Girls High School shed light on the matter, revealing that the wooden coffin had been donated by a funeral parlour in the 1990s.
However, a former teacher from Girls High School shed light on the matter, revealing that the wooden coffin had been donated by a funeral parlour in the 1990s.
Its purpose, according to the former teacher was for the school’s drama activities, particularly a popular drama called ‘Secrets.’ The coffin was stored in a storeroom and never used to hold an actual body.
The headmistress at the time, Thandiwe Dumbutshena, was aware of this donation, but it seems her successor may not have known about it, leading to the confusion. Nevertheless, the ex-staff member assured that the coffin never had any human remains in it.
“I was a staff member at the time the coffin was donated by a local funeral parlour for the school drama activities. The drama dubbed ‘Secrets’ was popular at the time and the coffin was dumped in one of the storerooms. I want to believe that the headmistress who replaced the late Dumbutshena never came across the coffin and it never contained a body at any time,” she said.
She urged students not to be scared by the wooden coffin story. The coffin, which has left students shaken following its discovery, led the local education officials to break down the storeroom door as school officials claimed they didn’t have the keys.
However, during a meeting of the School Development Committee, one member expressed ignorance about the coffin’s whereabouts. The committee resolved to go on local radio to clarify the situation and bring peace and confidence to both students and parents.
“I am yet to engage the caretaker, but we checked as a team, both at the school and boarding area, and never saw the coffin. We met as the SDC and agreed to go on radio to clear the air about the matter to bring peace and confidence to both students and parents concerning the facts we have gathered,” Charles Munhenga told H-metro.
Despite the truth being revealed, some parents and students still feel traumatized and wish to see the coffin disposed of to put an end to the unsettling situation. - Online Sources
