IN a tragic turn of events, a Harare province primary school headmaster collapsed and died at Hwange Colliery Stadium while celebrating his province’s triumph at the National Association of Primary School Heads national athletics competitions this afternoon.

Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education spokesperson Mr Taungana Ndoro confirmed the death of the Greystone Park Primary School headmaster Isaac Zheve.

“I can confirm that a headmaster Mr Isaac Zheve collapsed and died this afternoon at Hwange Colliery Stadium during a Naph national athletics competitions. At the moment, we have no confirmation of where his body is being kept,” said Mr Ndoro.

While requesting anonymity, Naph leadership said the school head, died in his car as he attempted to drive to the province’s base at Thomas Coulter Primary School soon after announcement of results around 4pm.

“We are still in shock, it’s a dark, a very dark ending to our competitions and one can only feel for the learners. This is just so traumatic,” said a school head.
