Musara, Chikwanda boundary wrangle goes on

By Meditation Mposi

Chiefs Musara and Chikwanda boundary dispute is still on with the two Chiefs’ subordinates clashing at a funeral recently and the matter was heard at Masvingo Magistrate’s court.
The incident involved one of Chief Musara’s aides, Langton Gozo and Alois Chikwanda who is from the Chikwanda clan.
Alois was dragged to court for impersonating Chief Chikwanda after he gave a speech at a funeral on behalf of Chief Chikwanda in Chief Musara’s area.
Alois appeared before Magistrate Cathrine Tafira on September 30 and pleaded not guilty before he was acquitted
It was a state’s case that on August 15, 2024 there was a funeral in Musara Village under chief Musara.
Gozo and Chikwanda both attended the funeral and during proceedings, when it was time for the chief to speak, Gozo who was standing in for Chief Musara wanted to address mourners but Chikwanda stood first and addressed as Chief.
He threatened to assault the complainant and insulted him saying he would chase Gozo from the area.
In his defense, Chikwanda said there was already a conflict between Chief Chikwanda and Chief Musara and he had an issue with Chief Musara not Gozo whom he said he never saw at the funeral.
He went on to claim that the director of ceremonies said since Chief Chikwanda was not there, he would represent him as he is from the same clan.
The dispute between Chief Musara and Chief Chikwanda rages from 2013 when Musara was declared chief by the late former President Robert Mugabe and since then, there have been clashes between their people.
Sometime in 2015 Chief Chikwanda was warned and asked to respect the boundary and resuscitation of the Musara Chieftaincy.
In 2018, Chief Musara was appointed substantive chief by the High Court and Chief Chikwanda disputed the decision saying ward 13 fell in his area.
Sometime in 2022, Chief Musara dragged Chief Chikwanda’s aide for undermining his authority. The aide was said to have blocked Chief Musara’s representatives from delivering speeches at funerals saying the area was not Chief Musara’s hence he had no right to speak.
The incident is not peculiar to Musara and Chikwanda, the same happens in Murinye and Mugabe areas where the two clash at funerals.
Charumbira and Bere also clash at funerals since the resuscitation of Bere and Nemamwa chieftaincy.

Boarding house fire destroys 13 students’ belongings

By Rangarirai Shanyurai

Thirteen students from Great Zimbabwe University (GZU) belongings were destroyed after an electrical fault sparked fire at Appleseed boarding house near Yeukai shops in Mucheke on September 27, at around 1900 hours.
According to a GZU Student Representative Council (SRC), thirteen girls from Yeukai boarding house lost everything in a tragic fire and the university had since provided temporary shelter and meals for the victims.
“Thirteen girls from a boarding house in Yeukai have lost everything in a devastating fire. It is truly heart-breaking to see our friends in such a difficult situation. During this challenging time, the university is providing them with temporary accommodation and meals as they await to go to a new boarding house. However, they need our support more than ever.
“I want to express my deepest gratitude to those who have donated food and clothes. Your kindness and generosity are a beacon of hope for these girls in their time of need. For those who have not yet had the chance to contribute, we kindly urge you to consider helping. Every donation, no matter how small, can make a significant difference. As stated in Acts 20:35, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Let us come together as a community to support our fellow students,” read the post.
The owner of the boarding house, Godknows Mugondo confirmed the incident and said they suspect the fire was a night spark from the sockets.
He said GZU Vice Chancellor Professor Rungano Zvobgo promised to attend to the victims’ needs and some of the students had already been taken to Mucheke Campus for accommodation.
“GZU has requested to take the victims to Mucheke Campus and we acceded to their request though we were in the process of transferring them to another boarding house in Runyararo West. We have provided them with blankets and they are going to get what they had at the previous boarding house.
“There are also plans by the University for the students to recover academic documents that were destroyed by the fire. We made a police report indicating the documents were destroyed,” said Mugondo.
He said he had spoken to Masvingo City Mayor, Alec Tabe who is also the ward 4 councillor and local Member of Parliament, Martin Mureri who also promised to mobilise help for the 13 students.
“I contacted the Mayor Tabe and MP Mureri and they both promised to help mobilise for assistance” he said.

School head steals, buries two tonnes of maize

School head steals, buries two tonnes of maize

By Beverly Bizeki

A school head at Gomba Primary School in Gutu has left the community devastated after she buried two tonnes of maize meant to feed learners at the school after keeping the maize for four years.
The head, Varaidzo Tazvivinga is said to have kept the maize until it went bad since 2020 while school-going kids who were supposed to benefit from it were going hungry.
Gomba Primary School Development Committee (SDC) Chairperson Samson Chidya confirmed the incident and said upon being asked why she had buried the maize, Tazvivinga said it was attracting rats to the fowl run where it was being kept.
“The maize was brought to the school in 2020 for the school feeding programme but classes were later disturbed by Covid-19 lockdowns and children stopped coming to school. We had used only about a tonne and the remainder was kept at the school,” said Chidya.
He said the head later told them that the remainder was supposed to be taken back to the Department of Social Welfare since it had not been used, with the school being asked to raise funds for its transportation back, which the parents resisted.
“We then suggested that since the school had poultry projects, we could use the maize for those projects as we had two batches of chickens. We went on to use some of the maize there but I later heard that the school head had told the SDC vice chair about wanting to dig a compost pit at the school. Little did we know that it was meant for burying the much needed food,” said Chidya.
He went on to say the head hired someone who dug the compost pit and buried one tonne intending to bury another tonne the following day but the contracted guy told other villagers who then informed other parents.
Contacted for comment, the school head Varaidzo Tazvivinga said she could not comment, saying she was not allowed to speak over the phone before dropping the call.
“We are not allowed to speak over the phone,” said Tazvivinga.
Gutu District Schools Inspector (DSI) Ronald Muganhu said he was yet to establish what had transpired at the school as he had only came across the story on social media.
“I have only seen the story on social media and I am yet to establish how authentic it is thereafter we can do our own investigations,” said Muganhu.
“The matter came to light after the man who was contracted told other parents at a beer binge that he had buried maize at the school and will bury some more the following day. The concerned parents then notified Chief Mazuru.
Other sources who spoke to this publication said the school head is believed to have tried covering up for taking part of the maize for personal use without authorization after parents enquired about the maize.
“It was alleged that she had been using the maize to feed her own poultry project, hence burying the maize,” a local villager said.
Headman Mazuru born Mukandatsama Mazuru condemned the school head’s conduct and said it was retrogressive equating it to an indirect act of murder considering the drought-induced food scarcity.
“What the head did is totally unacceptable and this did not sit well with us as a community. Some families have no food but she had guts to bury maize in a compost, ndiko kutiurayira vanhu uku (that is like killing people).
“The government is helping vulnerable families yet someone is destroying grain. I do not know where this places her job as a teacher and school head because she is supposed to be looking after these children
“The maize could have been distributed to children from vulnerable families and this could have served the purpose, the worst part is that her answers were not satisfying when we asked her. Our plea is for the ministry to give us another head as we cannot be working with someone like this,” said Mazuru.
Gutu East ward 13 councilor Theresa Dhehwa said the head was supposed to have agreed with parents on what to do with the grain before it went bad.
“We saw the maize that had been buried in a compost and it had gone bad and could not be used neither for cooking nor poultry feeds. The school head should have sat down with the SDC to come up with a way forward.
“She probably wanted to clear the room in which the maize was stored because it was no longer edible, even the sacks in which the maize was stored had been worn out and this was probably because of rats,” said Dhehwa.
Gomba Primary has an enrolment of about 650 learners and according to some sources the school had received about five tonnes of maize. Learners are said to have had meals for a few days from the same programme.
The government and other development partners are currently on a drive to maintain high enrolment in schools against the ongoing El Nino drought by supplying food to schools in vulnerable communities.
According to the Department of Social Welfare, Gutu District had an allocation of about 480 000 tonnes of maize and has already received about 65 000 tonnes of maize meal which has been disbursed to some of the primary schools in the district. Gomba Primary had however not received its allocation of the maize at the time of writing as schools are still in the process of receiving their allocations.

FC Wangu Mazodze criticized for appointing 8-year-old as team manager

FC Wangu Mazodze criticized for appointing 8-year-old as team manager

By Courage Dutiro

In a shocking move that has sent ripples through the football community in the country, a Masvingo-based ZIFA Eastern Region Soccer League (ERSL) Division One team, FC Wangu Mazodze has sparked controversy after appointing an 8-year-old as assistant team manager.
On September 27, 2024, the team appointed club owner’s son Richardell Mazodze to the position of assistant team manager, a development which has been described by some football professionals and soccer fans as a joke and utter madness in the football world.
FC Wangu Mazodze president Clive Gohodzi (Sibbs), said he had more appointments like that to come and said he had appointed him as the new assistant manager so that he could be groomed by the current team manager.
“We focus on our junior policy as much as we do on our players. Similarly, I appointed Richardell Mazodze to learn from our current team manager, and I believe his parents will feel motivated to groom him in the same footsteps.
“I am the appointing authority of FC Wangu Mazodze, and the vision is to brand our club differently from other clubs. I have more appointments to come and this will give us a chance to market our club as we strive for promotion to the premiership,” said Gohodzi.
The role of an assistant team manager involves a wide range of responsibilities, including coordinating team schedules, building relationships with players, and assisting with scouting and recruitment.
Masvingo United team manager Fidelis Nyahwai said it was unreasonable to think that someone of that age could execute the duties of an assistant team manager.
“That one is a joke, to be an assistant team manager, one must have certain qualifications so that in the absence of coaches he or she can do some of the duties.
“The only reason this is happening is because the child’s father owns the team. Even though he has the power to make such decisions, it’s obvious that someone of such age cannot handle the responsibilities of an assistant team manager,” said Nyahwai.
The ERSL Division One rules and regulations as amended in 2O24 states that no technical member shall be allowed to sit on the technical bench without the following requisite qualifications.
“The rules and regulations stipulate that the head coach must hold a CAF (B) coaching certificate, the assistant coach must hold a CAF (C) coaching certificate, the goalkeeper’s coach must hold a Level 2 or Goalkeepers’ certificate, the team manager must hold a Football Administration certificate or at least a Level 1 coaching certificate, and the team medic must hold a Sports Medicine or Red Cross Certificate,” reads part of the ERSL Division One rules and regulations.
Moses Muravu, a football fan, said people should not overlook the fact that this young boy is still developing mentally, it is inappropriate for him to lead a team at such a young age and does not have the necessary qualifications to be an assistant manager in Division One.
“We cannot overlook the boy’s psychological development. It is inappropriate for him to lead the team at such a young age.
“Moreover, he does not meet any requirements for one to be an assistant manager of a team in Division One. They are just putting the beautiful game of football into disrepute all in the name of being owners, that is unacceptable,” said Maravu.
ERSL administrator, Fungai Munyoro-Chingaira said they evaluate the technical staff of the teams based on their qualifications.
“We accredit technical members of teams based on qualifications, we do not have his credentials in our books yet,” said Chingaira.
Despite the criticism, club owner and father to Richardell, Dr. Richard Wangu Mazodze said he has no doubt about his son’s abilities due to the team’s size.
“It came to me as a surprise when president Sibbs appointed him to the position but I don’t doubt his capacity. He has been involved in the running of family businesses from a young age, and I believe he is capable of managing the team’s affairs due to its small size,” said Mazodze.
He also made it that his United States of America (USA) based son, whose age he prefers not to disclose, has been financially supporting the team from his pocket since the start of the season.
“He has been funding the team from his pocket since the beginning of this season and leadership is not geographical,” he said.
As if that is not enough, the team also on October 2, 2024 appointed another one of his sons, Richard Wangu Mazodze Junior as the team’s Chief Legal Officer.
Richard Junior is said to be a second year law student at one of the Ivy League Universities in the United States where he also plays college football.

Marital struggles of women living with HIV: navigating stigma, health and emotional challenges

Perpetua Murungweni

What was meant to be a happily ever after for Tendai crumbled down on her when her sister disclosed her HIV status to her husband putting an end to their marriage.

Tendai Sande (not her real name) (28) from Mutare in Bocha Marange, Mukuni division farm was born HIV-positive, and her mother passed away when she was just nine months old leaving her to be raised by her mother’s siblings.

‘I didn’t know about my condition until it was revealed to me when I grew up and was told to take my medication religiously which I followed. When I finished my A -Levels I moved to Harare to live with my siblings and this is when I met my first husband.

“My first marriage ended after eight months, I was young and scared to reveal my status to my husband. We did not go for testing, I didn’t know the proper steps to follow. My husband later learnt about my status and we decided to get tested together and that was the end of our marriage,” Tendai said. 

She said her husband chased her away and threatened to sue her for not disclosing her status.

“Luckily, he tested negative and I was not pregnant, however I had to start again. Stigma from relatives and friends grew, but there was nothing much I could do but to move on with my life,” added Tendai.

Her second marriage seemed promising, but when her husband discovered her secret, he chased her away.

“After almost 3 years, I found myself in love again, I repeated my first mistake of not disclosing my status, right now I regret that if I had told him the truth he could have accepted me the way I was.

“After 10 months of dating, he paid my bride price (lobola). I couldn’t tell him because I feared losing him again, however, I took my medication in secret. One year passed, and I got pregnant with my first child. When booking for maternity, my husband found big tablets and asked what they were for and I lied that they were for my pregnancy but he was not satisfied,” said Tendai.

According to Tendai her husband later sought advice from his uncle who advised him to visit the clinic.

“He suggested we got tested together, I could not refuse and this is when all hell broke loose. That’s how he learnt about my status, again he was lucky he tested negative,” she said.

She was later chased away.

Tendai now has accepted her fate, and now lives happily as a single mom.

“I gave birth to an HIV-negative son, who is now in grade three. I do not think I can remarry again after what I went through. Nowadays I am focusing on issues to empower myself and my son. I have since joined a support group in my area where I am being empowered,” she added.

Sarah Sithole (22) from Sikato farm in Masvingo also faced stigma from her in-laws.

“I got pregnant in high school and eloped with my boyfriend to his family’s house. My boyfriend knew that I was HIV positive and he did not have any challenges with that and I took my medication freely,” she said.

She however said her mother in law discovered about her status when she accompanied her for antenatal visits and it did not go well with her to the extent of telling everyone about her status, she however decided to leave the marriage.

“I hope one day I will find a family that will accept the way I am, if it means I am going write to those radio programs looking for someone with the same status as I definitely I would do that,” she added.

Nyaradzai Munyoro Family and Marriage Counsellor said she has witnessed a number of marital struggles which people living with HIV face.

“People living with HIV face numerous marital struggles, including internal conflicts, interpersonal challenges and societal stigma. These struggles encompass fear of transmission, guilt, anxiety, emotional distancing, disclosure fears, rejection, social isolation, strained relationships, in-law rejection, family planning concerns, childcare worries, financial strain, and caregiver burden.

However according to Munyoro individuals can cope through open communication, education, support groups, counseling, self-care and stress management.

“Serodiscordant couples face more challenges than those who share the same status because most individuals fear to disclose their statuses they are worried about judgment, rejection, or abandonment. Others struggle with adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART), taking medication irregularly due to fear of being judged or concerns about transmitting the virus to their partner,” Munyoro said.

Munyoro said despite the challenges these people face, with the aid of counseling some of them conquer their struggles.

Zimbabwe National Network for People Living with HIV (ZNNP+) National programmes manager, Tonderai Mwareka said HIV positive people within the marital space face many challenges.

“Being HIV positive at times perpetuates gender based violence because there will be accusations and counter accusations of who could have brought the virus. So when you look into those things, the marital set up is the one that I think needs education so that couples disclose to each other, and discuss their issues.

“At times its easy when a man is HIV positive and the women is not but on the other hand if it is a woman who is HIV positive and the man is not it brings about a lot of challenges within the marital setup because of our society which is patriarchal in nature,” he said.

Mwareka said there is need to support people to disclose to their spouses or partners in a mutual or more respective way.

“If people disclose to each other normally we have what we call undetectable equals untransmutable. Evidence shows that if someone is HIV positive and that person is taking his or her medicines religiously the person is adhering to his or her treatment normally the virus is suppressed and once it is suppressed it is inactive and once it is inactive the chances of transmitting the virus to your partner even if it is unprotected sex normally the chances are close to zero so people need to be educated and know about that” Mwareka added.

He said quite a number of serodiscordant couples have children who are HIV negative.

“So we need to address this stigma around HIV/AIDS. Nowadays it is no longer like a death sentence, it’s like a chronic issue that can be managed once one adheres to his or her medication,” said Mwareka.

He however encouraged HIV positive people to join support groups which helps in navigating relationships.

HIV – related stigma remains an issue in Zimbabwe. In 2022, the HIV Stigma Index report for Zimbabwe found that 70% of people with HIV had experienced stigma due to their HIV status.

UNICEF report shows that in 2021, 11, 58% translating to an estimate of 1,3million people in Zimbabwe are living with HIV and AIDS. About 72,100 were children 0 to 14 years and 77,300 adolescents aged 10 to 19.

UNICEF Zimbabwe country program 2022 to 2026 report shows that of the Zimbabwe’s population of 15 million, 54% are under the age of 20, 1/3 of all new HIV infections are in Adolescents and Youth People (15-24yrs).

“Stigma prevents adolescents accessing HIV/sexual reproductive health services and there is limited space for meaningful participation of adolescents in decision-making,” reads part of the report.

ZIMPHIA 2020 research found that 86.8 percent of adults living with HIV were aware of their status and of those aware of their status, 97.0 percent were on antiretroviral treatment. Among those on treatment, 90.3 percent achieved viral load suppression.

New head for Gokomere High

By Staff Reporter

MASVINGO – Gokomere High School, a Roman Catholic ran institution, recently welcomed a new head, bringing a new vision and leadership that has instilled hope for the restoration of the school’s former glory.
The new head, Emmanuel Muvengi confirmed the development and said he assumed duty beginning of this term.
Muvengi replaces Cephas Vhurumuku who has been acting head since the departure of the substantive head Aquanos Mazhunga who left the school in 2023.
He said he was targeting to instill discipline at the school as well as growing pass rate and taking sporting activities to great heights.
“I assumed duty on the opening day of this term and I want to assure parents that I will do my best to instill discipline in leaners and make sure that we get best results. I will also make sure that the school takes sporting activities to greater heights,” said Muvengi.
Muvengi joined Gokomere from Danhamombe High School in Chivi where he has been at the helm of the school since 2018 bringing wealth of experience having been in the education sector for more than two decades.
He joined the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education in 1998 as a teacher at Lundi High before he was promoted to be the deputy head at Magura High in his home district of Zaka.
From Magura, he was then promoted to head at Danhamombe where he improved pass rates and in 2023 the school was ranked best performing school at A Level in the district after recording 100 percent pass rate with two girls scooping 20 points. The least performing learner that year attained 8 points.
Muvengi is credited for transforming Danhamombe from a rural day secondary school to a low cost boarding school with the assistance of Alex Mashamhanda of the Mashwede fame.
He initiated education 5.0 through various projects such as piggery and fish farming which are currently thriving at the school.
Muvengi has a mammoth task of restoring the school to its former glory after the school was marred with reports of indiscipline, abuse of school resources and poor diet.
This reduced the school’s pass rate as well as its sporting prowess and several parents were shunning the school.
He is a holder of an Arts Master’s Degree in African History from Great Zimbabwe University (GZU), an arts general degree from the University of Zimbabwe (UZ) and a certificate in education from the same university.
He is in the fourth year doing special honours in History with GZU.

Devalued and deflated, RIP ZiG

Ladies and gentlemen, Climate change is real ndakazozviona. Others are joking saying corruption is everywhere that’s why we are seeing June manifesting in October. Kwatonhora and I am worried about my fellow homeless people in town who had increased vachiti chando chakaera. When we were growing up kwedu kwaChirimudombo, this is the time we would spend our weekend’s kurwizi tichitsvaka hove and swimming. Back then it was normal for boys and girls with big breasts to swim in the same pond and nothing would happen. Manje now it can’t. I have heard numerous reports of grade seven pupils failing to sit for their exams because vakamitiswa. I am not sure if that is also being caused by climate change as well but mmm, it’s too much. We have lost ubuntu as a people and zvaiyera hazvichayeri. Ndangoti ndipfuure napo hangu and warn madhara asiyane nevana. Let’s abide by the laws and those breaking it should be punished, men you should let eggs be birds mhani. Siyai kudya mango neSalt. Climate change is real, we really need mitigating factors but eish, nechihurumende chedu chemaZig ichi haa hapana kwatinoenda. This kind of weather change requires action and if we do not adapt, we will all perish.
Speaking of the ZiG government, I am sure you all saw the RBZ surrendering and throwing in the towel to the black market forces. Kungomuka zvavo vakakwidza rate kkkk. They are now competing with the money changers and their aim is to make sure you spend the little US you have so that vanokokota yese. I once warned Boys dzeSmoko kuti ZiG is not the solution.

I heard that Zanu PF legislators were singing Chibaba Chibaba after Ba Two delivered a high sound nothing SONA and lied that they had strategically and intentionally devalued the ZiG. That’s very funny, these guys do not want to admit that they have failed. The ZiG has failed and they want to lie that they are devaluing it. A few months ago it was touted as the strongest currency, now it’s being devalued. Maybe there is another meaning to devalue that I don’t know because who in his right mind would want to devalue a currency that is strong. Hee, in South Africa with a stronger economy they were recently celebrating the rand for gaining value against the USD and someone who calls self-President is devaluing his own currency, isn’t that madness. Someone school me here, are you sure the Ecobank heist gang went away with 4million. 4 million chaiyo chaiyo here guys, if it’s true then ah pakaipa kkk. I am sure our boys will act swiftly sezvavanosiita. I hope they will crack this one easily the same way they do with opposition politicians after an ‘unsanctioned’ meeting. I use to hear people saying daylight robbery and did not understand the meaning but now I fully understand, that was a daylight robbery. Well-orchestrated and executed zvekuti driver akatobuda zvake mugateway car to help others lift 4 million and put it in the truck. I suspect that it was an inside job and it involves some big guys somewhere somehow. Ah sure they couldn’t just disappear like that. This is how our resources are being looted by the Chinese while we are watching and recording videos zvedu. No action just like the police officer who is in one of the heist videos.

One of Ba 2’s loyal sons who has been hibernating is back with a bang. I mean Sir Weakness Chivharo, I recently saw a video where he was in UK and booking a 4k pound apartment per night.

The guys who went to war to liberate Zimbabwe from the white minority rule to Zanu PF monopoly rule. Didn’t you hear kuti ichatonga kusvika madhongi amera nyanga. They are really sure to do that that’s I why they managed to destroy the only people’s hope. Yes Chamisa though full of drama, he was the only hope people of Zimbabwe had and now it’s gone tangosara naChabangu and his tsvimbo kkk. Asika, one day is one day Mwari vachadavira minamato yedu.
Before I go zvangu kunokanga maputi angu for lunch, I wouldn’t have done justice if I go without talking about Mwonzora and his UK drama. Togarasei na Simba Chikanza munenge muchiitana seiko kuUK uko. I heard Mwonzora threatened hotel staff saying he was president of the biggest opposition parties after they allowed Simba in Mwozora’s room around 3 am kkk. Vakomana, Togarasei is still chopping cash from the political party finances dzegore riya? Inga vakafaa Havana chavakaona sure. Ko Vana Welsh nana Chabangu vavapapi nenyaya yavo. They are still fighting for control of both the party and the loot kkk. Before I go pane here akambonzwa nezvaformer VP vaMphoko. Kana pane amuona please tell him that his incubators could be handy now that winter has encroached into summer, ofcoz that is kana pane amwe akasara. MBOKO IMBOKO !!!!

NGO pays fees for academically talented kids

By Virginia Njovo

Christ’s Hope Children Trust, a recently established Non-Governmental Organization (NGO), has paid school fees and donated stationery for seven pupils from Zishumbe Primary, Nyazvidzi Secondary and Chikara Primary Schools.
The Trust Director Stephen Mandivengerei said the trust was founded by his late brother, Christopher who had a passion for helping children pursue their education having been inspired by his experiences.
“The challenges that Christopher faced in his life motivated him to assist children in need though he passed on before he could fulfill this mission. I have taken it upon myself to fulfil his mission.
“I am following his footsteps by providing educational support to a select group of children until they finish secondary school. If they get good grades, we will also fund their tertiary education,” said Stephen.
The organisation uses a unique selection process where learners are involved in identifying classmates who excel academically but were unable to pay their school fees.
At Zishumbe Primary, three girls were chosen, two in grade two and one in grade six. At Nyazvidzi Secondary, two form one girls were supported. At Chikara Primary, a boy and a girl in grade two received assistance.
Nyazvidzi Secondary School Development Committee (SDC) Chairperson Antony Kamwire thanked the trust for the aid and said the beneficiaries were in genuine need of help.
“These two girls were the right candidates since they come from less privileged backgrounds. One lives with her stepfather, and the other is a victim of the child marriage system linked to the Marange Positori sect,” said Kamwire.
He said that the latter girl had been forced into an arranged marriage, and she had to pretend to be mentally ill as a way to escape it.
“Recently, she threatened her parents, saying she would report them to the police if they insisted on the marriage, she has gone so far as faking mental illness to avoid being forced into marriage,” Kamwire added.
