MEMBERS of the public have been urged by law enforcement agents to be extremely cautious about unsolicited job offers and entertaining unknown people on social media as they may fall prey to criminals.
The call comes in the wake of a Gokwe woman who was recently lured to Harare before being robbed and gang-raped.
“Zimbabwe Republic Police urges members of the public to exercise caution when responding to unsolicited job offers or engaging with strangers on social media and to verify the identities and credentials of individuals offering employment or other services.
“The warning follows a robbery and rape incident that occurred in Kuwadzana on Monday, September 2026 involving a 27-year-old woman from Gokwe who had been offered a job by strangers through a WhatsApp group. The woman travelled to Harare after receiving the job offer and was instructed to proceed to Kuwadzana, where she was allegedly robbed of her valuables and gang-raped by three men,” he said.
Commissioner Nyathi added that law enforcements are conducting comprehensive investigations to identify and apprehend the suspects.
