David Masomere teaches physical education at Ndarama High School but rarely shows up for work. He spends most days helping President Mnangagwa at political events and rallies. Other teachers must cover his 34 weekly classes, which makes them angry and tired. The government still pays his salary despite his constant absences. Most teachers lose their paychecks after missing just a few days of work.

Education officials claim Masomere teaches every day at the school. Reporters found him missing during school hours and saw him at presidential functions. He drives around without license plates and visits government offices instead of teaching students. Teachers say he stopped coming to work during the 2023 election campaign. He appears at school only when hired to provide entertainment for special events.

Union leaders call Masomere a ghost worker who collects money without doing his job. Labor experts say the government should have fired him long ago. The same officials who protect Masomere often punish teachers who miss work for medical reasons. School administrators face pressure to cover up their extended absences from education duties.
