Police are investigating a case in which a 13-year-old girl was raped by a yet to be identified man in Kambuzuma where she had visited her mother during the holiday.

The girl is doing Grade Seven and she is now six months pregnant.

The police said: “The ZRP is investigating a case of rape in which a 13-year-old, Grade Seven pupil was raped by a certain man after she had visited her mother for a holiday in Kambuzuma, Harare in April 2022.”

The offence reportedly came to light when the girl returned to her aunt’s place in Mutoko when a medical examination was conducted and she was found to be six months pregnant.

Recently, a nine-year-old Tsholotsho girl was raped and fell pregnant. She delivered through Caesarean section at United Bulawayo Hospitals two weeks ago.
