TWO boys, both aged 16, are assisting police with investigations following a video that went viral on social media in which they were seen sexually abusing a female Form Four pupil recently in Manicaland.

The girl, aged 17, has also been located by the police in Marange, Bocha as investigations into the case continue.

In the video, the two suspects could be seen taking turns to sexually abuse the victim while they were also recording the incident using a mobile phone.

This prompted the ZRP to dispatch a team to conduct comprehensive investigations in connection with the incident.

In a statement, national police spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi said: “Reference is made to the ZRP’s X post on September 28, 2025 in connection with the viral social media post on sexual activities by Masasi High School students. The ZRP has located the complainant aged 17 and the two suspects, both aged 16. More details will be released as inquiries continue.”

The incident also comes after one suspect was arrested on allegations of raping a 13-year-old girl in a parked kombi at Rezende Parkade rank in Harare in July this year.

Initially, the Grade 7 learner was humiliated by touts, who were dragging her to various kombis at the rank.

One of the touts then pretended to be a good Samaritan and led her to a parked kombi nearby.

He locked the kombi and raped her once without protection. The tout disappeared after the act, leaving the learner inside.
