Officials canceled Stella Mhlanga's disciplinary hearing at Kumalo Primary School due to money problems. The education ministry could not afford to send panel members to Bulawayo for the scheduled meeting. Parents wanted answers about accusations that Mhlanga stole school funds with four other workers. Bernard Mazambani from the Provincial Education Office promised to reschedule the hearing. The controversy started when allegations surfaced about missing money at the school.
Mhlanga faces court charges for taking school funds and her case continues on June 18. Parents demand her removal and question why she keeps working during the investigation. They compare her situation to a student who got expelled from Robert Tredgold Primary School for bad behavior. The ministry suspended Mhlanga last year but brought her back in September. Her original hearing failed when committee chairman Lameck Mudyiwa did not show up for unknown reasons.
