The girl is reported to be four months pregnant and has
dropped out of school. The culprit is
21-year-old, Tapiwa Muza.
The girl’s mother, who is based in South Africa heard about
her daughter’s pregnancy and threatened to take legal action against Muza who
stays with his grandmother in Glaudina.
Muza told H-Metro that he is living in fear over the
threats of arrest he received and was at a safe house in Domboshava.
The girl’s mother told H-Metro that she approached
Dzivaresekwa police station for assistance with a view to take her daughter
from Muza.
“I was communicating well with my daughter while I was in
South Africa after she told me that she was impregnated by Muza,” said the
mother. “It affected me much considering that I separated with her father and I
only have two daughters.
“I could not sound tough to her over the phone but I asked
her to link me with Muza’s grandmother and I promised to come and visit them
upon arriving in Harare.
“Muza forced my daughter to switch off her mobile phone and
the daughter was instructed to go to Chitungwiza where she collected her
belongings and disappeared to unknown place after they learnt that I was in the
country.
“That forced me to seek guidance from police at
Dzivaresekwa and the officers led me to Glaudina where Muza and the daughter
were reported to have been in hiding. “I cannot allow my daughter to marry at
that age and I am prepared to take her,” she said.
Muza’s uncle Elisha Marumahoko said the girl’s mother
instructed them to keep the girl away from Muza until she arrives in the
country.
“The girl has been here for the past months and her mother
informed us to keep her away from Muza until she comes,” said Marumahoko.
“The girl has been talking with her mother over the phone
and when she arrived in the country she is the one who instructed her to come
to Chitungwiza where she collected her belongings.
“I was shocked to
see her coming in the company of police officers demanding to see the girl and
Muza.
“Muza is in Domboshava and the whereabouts of the girl are
not known since the day she went to her mother in Chitungwiza.
“We are aware that Muza impregnated a minor and it’s a case
but the girl’s mother failed to be honest with her real decision,” said
Marumahoko.
Muza said he was in fear. “Wangu hapaimirika ipapo wanzwa ekusungiswa
asi mhosva yangu ndinobvuma zvangu nekuti mwana mudiki,” said Muza.
“As we speak I am at
a certain house in Domboshava and living in fear because my mother-in-law wants
to take the matter to police.
“I am prepared to marry the girl. I never forced her to
switch off the phone but the place where we are staying has no electricity
power that is why her mobile phone is not reachable.
“I am not abusing her as alleged but I fear arrest over
impregnating the minor,” he said. H Metro
