Girl Child Network founder, Betty Makoni, has posted pictures of a man who she says married a 15-year-old girl. She says that the parents of the girl are the ones that asked for her help in rescuing their daughter.
The man is seen in the pictures hugging the girl in question (below). Makoni claims that the girl in the picture is 15 years old, and the man 69.
There has been no independent verification of the claims by Makoni. Pindula will update when more information is available.
Said Makoni:
Parents appealing for rescue of daughter aged 15 in Zimbabwe We must all act in unity and get this man arrested and this should happen immediately. Parents have sent an appeal for help via audio. This man aged 69 took their daughter aged 15. Johanne Marange Apostolic church.
Let’s work collectively as a community to get him arrested for marrying a 15 year old girl. Any accomplices to this marriage must be arrested too.
