The orphan who was sexually abused by the headmaster of Hartzell High School is expected to testify against him next week.
The little girl will testify in camera on Wednesday against Shorwi Kawadza who allegedly sexually abused and infected her with sexually transmitted infection.

The child will give her account under oath after this week’s completion of cross-examination of investigation officer, Sergeant Itai Chandata of Penhalonga Police Station.
Kawadza, who is answering charges of having sex with a minor as well as infecting her with a sexually transmitted disease, is the first accused, while Fairfield Children’s Home staffer, Cecilia Thobani is the second accused for the role she allegedly played in facilitating the abuse of the minor.
Kawadza was represented by Mr Victor Chinzamba of Mugadza, Chinzamba and Partners, while Thobani was represented by Mr Ranga Muhloro-Mubata of Mubata, Chigadza and Associates.
When the two appeared before Mutare magistrate, Mr Langton Mkwengi on Tuesday for continuation of trial, defence counsel laboured to prove that the child was not a reliable witness after she named different people as perpetrators of the abuse on her.
“Why are you (Investigation Officer Chatanda) finding it difficult to accept that she (the minor) is someone who gives a different story at different times to different people,” argued defence lawyer, Mr Chinzamba during cross-examination of Sgt Chatanda.
However, Sgt Chatanda stood her ground arguing that the minor had given different explanations only because she had been bribed by the headmaster.
“No. She is just a victim who had been traumatised as well as bribed to implicate a teacher, William Mukwindidza. Complainant told me that her implication of Mukindidza was a fabrication after being given $40 bribe from accused one in his office,” said Sgt Chatanda.
The case was adjourned to Wednesday when the minor is expected to testify.
When the case was brought into the public domain, Hartzell High senior teacher, Mr William Mukwindidza was named as the accused who was responsible for sexually abusing the minor and infecting her with a serious sexually transmitted disease.
However, in an intriguing twist of events, Kawadza was later arrested amid stunning revelations that the school head was the one who actually abused her. -ManicaPost
