Virginity tests saga
By Temba Dube
AT least three villagers at Killspring Farm where “virginity tests” were reportedly carried out on pupils allegedly raped Grade Six and Seven pupils and each paid a goat to buy their parents’ silence.
Two men have also been sentenced to prison terms of 20 years each after Tsetse Primary School’s Child Protection Committee was able to prove, through medical doctors, that they had sexually abused the children.
The issue came to light yesterday during a meeting that was attended by scores of villagers at Killspring Farm in West Acre, about 27 kilometres along the Bulawayo-Plumtree Road.
Emotional villagers said the people who leaked the “virginity tests” story to Chronicle had misrepresented facts because they were among the culprits.
Others demanded to know the identities of the people who leaked the story, saying they were enemies of progress, who should be removed from the village.
“Whoever sent that story to Chronicle has something to hide. Before we start, with the permission of parents here gathered, I would like to say teachers and Childline officials were not involved in the said tests, which were carried out to ascertain the extent of injuries suffered by children who we thought were victims of physical abuse,” said the Tsetse Primary School Child Protection Committee vice-chairperson, Mr Fanuel Mlilo.
