A PRIMARY school teacher who was fired for allegedly fondling a Grade 7 pupil during holiday extra lessons has taken the Minister of Primary and Secondary Education Lazarus Dokora to court, challenging his dismissal.

Never Ncube, formerly employed as a senior teacher at Lochview Primary School in Bulawayo, allegedly fondled the 14 year old pupil's breasts before hugging her without her consent during vacation lessons.

He allegedly invited the girl to an empty classroom where he indecently assaulted her on different occasions between August 24 and September 4, 2015.

But in papers filed at the Bulawayo Labour Court on Monday, Ncube, through his lawyer, Khulekani Sibanda of Mathonsi Ncube Law Chambers, said the disciplinary authority erred in its determination.
Ncube further argued that he was tried and acquitted by a criminal court.

Ncube is seeking an order that sets aside the determination of the disciplinary authority and for Dokora to be compelled to reinstate him without loss of his salary. He also wants the minister to pay him damages for pain and suffering as a result of the job loss and to pay the costs of the lawsuit.
Dokora has not yet filed opposing papers challenging the application.
