She said any person who wishes to make any submissions in regard to the investigation should visit the Commission Offices in Harare at First Floor Pax House and/or submit them, in writing before October 25. The investigations follow the death of Anna Machaya, a 14-year-old girl who died during childbirth at a Johane Marange Apostolic Sect shrine in Mutare in August. The girl’s husband Hatirarame Momberume has since been arrested on murder charges and having sex with a minor. Her parents, Edmore Machaya and Rachel Mabika have also been arrested on obstruction of justice charges after they lied about the girl’s age in an attempt to protect Momberume.
