He took his life a few hours after his father’s burial
while mourners were still to disperse.
Provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Margaret Chitove
confirmed the incident saying, Tapiwa Dzepasi’s body was found hanging from a
tree as relatives proceeded to the graveyard to perform rituals at his late
father’s grave yesterday morning.
Friday Dzepasi, his father, had died in Zambia last week. Tapiwa
lost his mother years ago and was under the care of his paternal grandmother. He
is believed to have failed to stomach the death of his father rendering him an
orphan.
“He was reclusive and rarely talked. During his dad’s
funeral, he wept uncontrollably and was refusing to eat, and also showed signs
of heavy distress. Tapiwa could have been uncertain of his future without a
parent,” a relative said.
The matter was reported at Kutama police station. Herald
