Zimbabwe Miner on the Run After Allegedly Assaulting Infant Daughter

A miner from Mazowe, known only as Madoda, has fled after allegedly abusing his ten-month-old daughter in Hopley Zone 6.

His wife caught him in the act, rubbing his manhood on the child’s private parts and mouth, claiming he was checking for ‘feelings.’

Despite their separation in June 2022, Madoda would visit his family to see his children, leading to this horrific incident.

Harare’s police spokesperson, Inspector Luckmore Chakanza, confirmed the case, stating that investigations are ongoing.

Madoda was visiting when the incident occurred, his wife was taking a bath, and returned to this shocking scene.

When confronted, Madoda’s excuse was that he wanted to see if the child had feelings, which left his wife in disbelief.

He then threatened his wife, ordering her not to disclose what he had done or face deadly consequences.

The mother inspected the child and found discharges, leading her to take the baby to a clinic, where malnutrition and sores were noted.

In a separate, chilling event, Madoda demanded to sleep with his ten-month-old son, who was found dead the next morning.

Madoda instructed his wife not to alert neighbors due to burial expenses, planning instead to bury the child in Guruve.

They traveled to Guruve, with Madoda insisting they lie to her parents that the child died en route.

Once there, he convinced his in-laws to help with the burial, maintaining the deception about the child’s death.

The wife, suspecting foul play possibly involving juju, reported Madoda to the police, leading to a manhunt for him.

This case has sparked outrage and raised significant concerns about child safety and the mental state of the accused.

The community of Hopley Zone 6 is left in shock, grappling with the implications of this heinous act.

Madoda’s whereabouts remain unknown, and the police are actively searching for him to bring him to justice.

The tragic circumstances surrounding both children have left the family and community in mourning and fear.

This incident underscores the urgent need for vigilance and protection of the most vulnerable in our society.

The police are urging anyone with information on Madoda’s whereabouts to come forward to ensure he is apprehended.

The case has also reignited discussions on the effectiveness of child protection laws and enforcement in Zimbabwe.

As the investigation continues, the community hopes for justice for the innocent victims of this appalling crime.

The story of Madoda serves as a grim reminder of the dark potential within human behavior, especially within the sanctity of family.

The emotional and physical scars left on the surviving child may never fully heal, highlighting a need for support and care.

This ordeal has left many questioning the safety of children and the lengths to which some will go in their twisted justifications.
