On May 4, 2024, Tariro Svikiro went to the African
Apostolic Church with her mother. One prophetess at the church by the name
Madzimai Chigora made a prophecy that the girl was no longer a virgin and she
denied it.
A virginity test was allegedly forced on her and the result
was that her hymen was no longer intact and therefore sex was performed on her.
The girl then allegedly went on to reveal that she slept
with two different boys who had the same surname with the prophetess hence they
could be her relatives.
Mashonaland East Police Spokesperson Simon Chazovachiyi
confirmed the incident to The Mirror. He urged people to follow procedure on
such matters and urged parents to stay close to their children.
After the church service the girl went back home with her
mother but she was depressed. The next day her mother found her lying on the
floor in a critical condition and her son told her that the girl had drunk
poison.
She was hurried to Chivhu General Hospital where she died
upon admission.
“We are appealing to members of the public to seek
counseling services in situations like this. I also urge parents to be very
close to their children so that they will feel free to disclose everything to
them,” said Chazovachiyi. Masvingo Mirror
