Police have initiated an investigation into the brutal assault of two minors by a man and a woman in the Madziwa area of Mashonaland Central Province, following the circulation of a viral video of the attack.
In a statement, the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) confirmed that the assailants have been identified and will be prosecuted in due course. Police said:
<blockquote>
Reference is made to a disturbing video circulating on social media, depicting a man wearing blue work suit trousers brutally assaulting two minors. The assault is further exacerbated by the arrival of a woman who joins in the attack.
The suspects have been identified and investigations are currently underway to ensure that the law takes its course without fear or favour. The incident occurred in Madziwa area, Mashonaland Central Province.
</blockquote>
In the video, the man orders two boys to remove their shorts before mercilessly assaulting them on their buttocks with a log. Despite the boys’ pleas for mercy, he continues to strike them as they writhe in pain on the ground.
At one point, a visibly pregnant woman rushes in with a switch, intending to join the assault, but she is restrained by onlookers.
What is particularly troubling is that several witnesses at the homestead did nothing to intervene during the brutal attack. Instead, some can be heard in the background cheering and laughing.
The video does not reveal the relationship between the assailants and the victims, nor does it explain what may have prompted the assault.

ZRP Probes Brutal Assault Of Two Boys In Madziwa After Video Goes Viral

Mavis Mada, an 18-year-old woman from Hwedza who survived a brutal gang attack by five women on July 4, 2024, has completed a nurse aide training course.
The assault, which was filmed by the assailants, lasted four hours. The assailants inflicted severe abuse on Mada, including inserting three sticks into her private parts.
According to <a href="https://www.hmetro.co.zw/battered-hwedza-woman-completes-nursing-aide-course/">H-Metro</a>, Dr Michael Mandaza offered Mavis a free three-month training course at Pacific 24Hour Hospital in Mabvuku, where she also received rehabilitation support for her physical and mental recovery. He said:
<blockquote>
We are happy that Mavis has successfully completed her nurse aide training course we offered.
We will inform you on her next step after consulting her parents.
</blockquote>
Dr Mandaza said that the training initiative was intended to empower Mavis and help her become self-sufficient.
Mavis failed her Ordinary Level examinations two years ago and has been living with her grandmother in Hwedza.
Her mother works as a housemaid in Harare, and her father passed away.
Pacific 24Hour Hospital covered all expenses related to her training, including uniforms, food, and accommodation for the duration of the course.
Mavis’ assailants, four of whom are juveniles under the age of 18 and one aged 19, were arrested after the video of the assault went viral on social media.
They were found guilty of multiple offences, including aggravated indecent assault, cyberbullying, unlawful detention, and assault.
Vimbai Mike (19) and a 17-year-old woman, who is married with two children, were each sentenced to a total of five years in prison for indecent assault.
They received an additional year for cyberbullying related to the posting of the victim’s video on social media, one year for unlawful detention, and another year for assault. However, these sentences will run concurrently within the five-year term.
The other three juveniles involved were spared custodial sentences on the condition that they refrain from committing similar offences for the next five years.
The court heard that on July 4, 2024, at 11:00 AM, Vimbai Mike (19), Rudo Manjere (17), Lilly Rose Munyoro (16), Lillian Chido Munyoro (17) and Sandra Vhumbunu (17), lured 18-year-old Mavis Mada to Vimbai Mike’s homestead in Mupfuuri village under the pretence of giving her vegetable seedlings.
Once there, they locked her in a hut, stripped her naked, and took turns assaulting her with sticks, inserting three sticks into her private parts while recording the incident.
Mavis lost consciousness, and the suspects poured water on her before releasing her at 3:00 PM.
The subsequent arrest of the suspects led to the recovery of a Vivo cellphone that had been used to record the assault.
