The incident was confirmed by Matabeleland South Police spokesperson Inspector Loveness Mangena. She said:

> After attending a party where the accused was a patron, the complainant left the party going back home in the company of other children.

> The accused then followed them and he raped the complainant. Fortunately, the accused was arrested soon after a police report was made.

Insp Mangema urged parents to take responsibility for their children by closely monitoring them always. She added:

> We have been conducting crime awareness campaigns using loud hailers and influential local traditional leaders in a drive to curb crimes in the province but it seems as if people are not listening.

> We urge members of the public to take responsibility for their children by monitoring wherever they are playing and they must never expose them to criminals.

In a related incident, Insp Mangena said a man believed to be aged 39 is on the run after raping a 13-year-old after being hired for a menial job by the victim’s grandmother at Sheet Farm in Gwanda on 1 January around 11 AM.
