A VIRAL video showing children begging in Harare’s CBD led to the rescue of 22 children and their parents, who were handed over to Social Welfare.
In a statement on X, police said “Reference is made to a video which went viral on social media platforms in which children are seen begging for money near Joina City, Harare CBD, particularly along Rezende Street, Joina City and Town House areas. As a result, 22 children and their guardians were handed over to Department of Social Welfare.
“Guardians are implored not to use children and the disabled to beg for money and food in the streets as they risk arrest for violating the country’s laws protecting children.
